August Update

Hi! Summer has gone by so fast, and now it's almost over. I've had a pretty great summer. :D How was everyone else's?

I've been working a lot on piano these couple of months. I finished learning Serenade by Schubert, but I'm not sure whether it's the full version or the theme... I might post it sometime. I've also gotten a bit further in Ballade No. 1, and it's going pretty well. :D  I'm so excited to just even be learning it... It's one of my most favorite pieces ever. I have also been trying to sight read a lot of pieces, and for sure I've gotten better at it. I'm not nearly as slow as I used to be. One of the other pieces I've been working on is Waltz No. 3 by Brahms. :D

I know I don't really post many updates or new videos, and I may not be doing so too often anyway, but maybe at least once a month. I'll be more busy this time of year, since I'll actually be starting school tomorrow. I hope to be getting a piano teacher soon... Let's hope it works out. :D


That's all I really have to say for today. :)

God bless, and until next time,
Viviana.

A Much Better Clip of Chopin's Ballade No.1

Hallo und Herzlich Willkommen! :D

A few months ago, I had uploaded a clip of Ballade No.1, but after listening to it recently I discovered that I play it a bit differently now than I did then. Plus, what I know now is a little further into the piece than before. (By the way, this new recording of the Ballade was kind of a random thing, so it's a bit sloppy in the filming of it.)

Here is the old version:

And this is the new version:

As you can hear, I still need to practice it much. At some point though, it will sound better. I also hope to record Beethoven's Sonatina in G soon. :D


Until next time,
Viviana.

June updates -Criserl

Hello!

I'm currently on holiday and school will resume in 2 weeks time. The concert that I had 2 days ago was amazing! Really grateful for everyone who turned up. :) I would also like to thank Team JJCOify, Ms Janet from Piano Melody, my friends and family. 

Bach Invention No.14 - I've learned this piece for quite a long time ago and I finally found time to upload it!

Mozart Fantasie in D minor - This piece was part of my repertoire for the 15 June Concert. 

I hope you enjoy my music.

Can't wait to blog again next time.

June Update!! -Viviana

Hiiii!!! :D

So, I finished Mazurka in C and also Sonatina in G by Beethoven. Now I'm just working on the Romanze part of the Sonatina. I was trying to see what else I should work on, so I'm thinking Waltz in A-Flat by Chopin. :D  I'll try to get a recording of those two pieces I finished, although I think the Sonatina will be uploaded first.

Any ideas on what else I should learn that isn't too long?


That's pretty much all for news. XD

God bless!!!

Update! : Criserl

Hello!

Collage is really busy for me as there are lots of projects to do and school ends really late...I really wish I have more time for the piano.

Here is a keek of me practicing Mozart Fantasie in D minor :

May 4, 2014 | just learned this today! mozart fantasie in D minor♥ #piano #classical #practice by CriserlTeo on Keek.com

Hope you enjoy this snippet. I plan to finish learning this piece by June.

Also, there have been requests for me to share my Instagram and private blog links. I'm still considering if I should share my private blog url, but at the moment I don't think I'll share my Instagram. You can find keeks of me working on dance and dance tricks. So remember to follow and subscribe!

Stay tuned for more,
