Hi!!
My friend JH got me to upload my playing of Chopin's Waltz so yeap I did as requested. It wasn't super good and there were still many flaws. However, I hope you like it.
And yeah now my friend has to play Yiruma's When The Love Falls for me. :P Hahaha
I'm now practising Mozart. Can't wait to complete that and upload it for you all.
Until then,
Criserl

November Update - Viviana
Wow, it really has been a long time since I last posted anything...
Well, I'll get straight to what I've been up to -
Today I just ordered three different piano books! Two of them are music theory (Fundamentals of Piano Theory - Book 9, Book 10) and one is a big book of music from the Baroque Era to the Modern (The Library of Piano Classics). I'm really excited to see what else I can learn. :D The Ballade (WHICH I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOREVER!! :/ ) is going much better than before. I've finally gotten to Page 11... I still have 16 pages to go...and the hardest parts of the piece are yet to come. Hopefully I'll be able to manage those.
I have finally decided something - I really like Rachmaninoff. I didn't really care for his music before, but after hearing his Piano Concerto No. 2 and Prelude in C-Sharp Minor I decided that he really was an absolutely amazing composer. I guess you could say he's one of my favorites now.
Every once in a while I might upload some videos. It's not something I really find the time or quietness to finish (it really is the quietness issue... my household is always so loud). If I ever do have some time then maybe I will record something, like my new arrangement of Silent Night, which I happen to think is the best arrangement I've come up with so far. It is a bit simple, and maybe even cliche, but Silent Night is beautiful no matter what (Oh, which reminds me of two beautiful versions of O Holy Night you ALL must hear!!! -- The Canadian Tenors - O Holy Night, -- Il Volo - O Holy Night).
Recently, I started listening to some of Schumann's works. I really, REALLY love his songs from Dichterliebe, especially Im wunderschoenen Monat Mai. It's one of my new absolute favorites ever!
For now, that's all the news I have. :)
God bless you all.
