Update - Criserl :)

Hello!!!

Firstly , for those who have been following my other blog will know that my concert date has been brought forword to the 14  of December and will commence at 7pm. :)

Secondly, I'm now learning a piece by Handel - Allemande. As all of you know , I'm not really a baroque person so I don't really like that piece...I've also finish recording the first movement of Kuhlau sonatina op.20 no.1! 2 more movements to go!! And also, this time I decided to repeat the repeat section ( I hope you get what I'm trying to say here , as normally I skip the repeat section). :D

Thirdly, I will like to introduce you to BBC documentary on both Mozart and Beethoven. Each documentary is 3 hours but I think it is definitely worth your time. I got to learn so much about their lives and what they had gone through so as to have a better interpretation their music.

Lastly, I'm planning to learn the tempest sonata but not the third movement (of course). I deciding between the first movement which has about 6 pages or the second which has 4 pages... Tell me which you prefer! It will be my self study piece and maybe at a later stage my teacher will go through it with me and I may even end up performing it!

Requested Post: Wish List of Music To Play

Hi! I was requested by Kate to do this post on music that I wish to play. I will probably also list pieces that I want to finish but haven't got around to.

~Nocturne No. 13, Opus 48 No. 1 in C Minor by Chopin
~Moonlight Sonata Third Movement by Beethoven
~(to finish) Invention 8 by J.S. Bach
~Solfegietto by C.P.E. Bach
~Fantasy in D Minor K397 by Mozart
~Liebestraume by Liszt
~Waltz in C Minor Op. 64 No. 2 by Chopin
~Tempest Sonata, Mvt. 3 by Beethoven
~(to learn full version) Nocturne in E Flat Major Op. 9 no. 2 by Chopin
~Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin
~Piano in the Sky by Emily Bear
~Prelude no. 4 in E minor by Chopin
~Claire de Lune by Debussy
~Serenade by Schubert

So those are some of the pieces I hope to learn one day. I have tons of sheet music, but haven't really bothered with it. I really do hope to start learning classical again. And yes, I will be uploading Silent Night this week.

I started Learning Ka'iulani by Emily Bear, and have half a page left!!! That's probably my favorite piece by her. I also started Ellen's Song, which is really easy, so maybe I'll be done with it soon. I actually really want to learn Final Journey, but don't have the songbook. I started learning it by ear, and was surprised to see it was in the exact same pitch...

Until next time,
~Vivi

p.s. what type of polls should I do?

Update - Viviana

Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't upload Silent Night. Looks like I won't be uploading it until either later this week or next week. Today was my birthday (Nov. 21), and then tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and then there's other stuff going on this week. Again, I apologize for saying I was going to upload it and didn't.

I was requested by Kate to write a to-play list or wish-to-play list. I'll get to that at some point.

Today I want to take a little time to write more on myself so you can all know more about me.

-My family is from Mexico, Ireland, Spain, and France.
-I want to do a lot of traveling when I'm older.
-My favorite types of movies are fantasy, adventure, comedy, or all 3.
-I love fashion and clothes!
-I am a Christian! I live for Jesus!!!!
-I've been playing piano for 4 years.
-My favorite classical composers are Beethoven and Chopin; my favorite modern composer is Emily Bear.
-My favorite part of piano is composing!
-I live 2 hours away from where Emily Bear lives, but have never met her.
-I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, and a dog named Jax.

Hello!

Hello! I know, I know, I haven't updated since last week... The reason for that is because I just haven't had too much time to film anything. If you guys don't see any updates this week, it's because it will be Thanksgiving this week. AND MY BIRTHDAY!!! :D I'm so excited!!! I will be filming Silent Night either today or tomorrow, so look out for that video!

I probably will not be doing any classical anytime soon. I'm going to spend most of my time composing, learning Christmas music, and learning some more Emily Bear. :)  

If you haven't seen it yet, here's my new original composition, Sky. Sorry if the pedal is too much... 

Do you all think I should do a video type of update sometime? Tell me what you think! Maybe you'll hear my Chicago accent! Hahaha. I don't really know if I have a Chicago accent...

Anyway, for the new year coming up, what do you all think I should learn? Give me some requests! I will learn it when 2013 comes around.

Be lookin' out for my next update,

~Vivi
