Hello everyone!
I hope everyone had an awesome 2013 as we'll be welcoming 2014 in a few days! I'm so excited for next year as I would get more opportunities to play chamber music and tackle a vast repertoire, playing challenging pieces by Haydn , Beethoven and Mozart etc. Also, I wish to master a few of those pieces on my < To-play list> because apparently I've only completed 1 out of the 13 pieces listed.!
Recently, I've been listening to a lot of Haydn's Piano sonata. I'm not exposed to his works considering the fact that I've only played 1 of his piano sonata and 1 piano trio. I would like to recommend Sonata in E-flat and Sonata in F .
Apart from practising piano, I'm now reading <The Fault In Our Stars> by John Green. It is an excellent book. No wonder it is a New York Times best seller. Another thing that I'm working on is getting my Scorpion a.k.a a Needle in dance, I will definitely post a photo somewhere once I've achieved it! :)

Happy Early Christmas!
I'm wishing you all an early Merry Christmas!! Wishing you all love, peace, and a good time with your families. :)
In the upcoming year, I really plan on finishing a lot of the pieces I never learned this year, and that will be my main goal for 2014. Mainly, the pieces I want to have finished are Ballade No.1 by Chopin and Tempest Sonata Third Movement, and also a few songs from movie soundtracks. I will probably try to only work on learning two pieces at a time, probably one being classical and the other modern. More original compositions will be uploaded as well. :D
Sorry for not uploading anything. The camera really gives me problems... I hope to be getting one for Christmas, or maybe afterwards. Then I'll have no excuse for not uploading anything.
Lately, what I've really been working on is sight reading. I've noticed already a lot of improvement this past week. Today I was focusing on the Time Travel Theme from Secret. I still have two pages to work through on that. I hope to be able to read music very quickly by the end of next year. :)
Oh, and for the Christmas music I was supposed to record, be expecting that around the New Year or a little after that... Haha.
Anyway, have a Merry Christmas. God bless. :)
Viviana.

Some of my friends will perform Beethoven Concerto No.3 while others together with me will be performing Mozart Concerto No.27 . I'm assigned the 1st movement and we will be playing with an accompanist on piano. I'm so excited!!
I'll definitely upload the performance on to YT! :D
Also, as promised , here is my recording of Debussy on YT :)

Love,
Criserl

Hello!
Today, I would first like to wish Viviana a Happy Birthday in advance as I will not be in Singapore after tomorrow. After tonight's concert I'll be flying to Vietnam to attend a music event with my family and friends, so I would like to wish Viviana an early Happy Birthday! :D
I haven't been practicing the piano often due to concert preparations , but I hope to upload a new video soon!
Love,
Criserl
P.S I can't wait for Christmas to come! I set up the Christmas Tree last night !

A clip of Ballade No. 1 by Chopin! (plus news on what I'll be learning for Christmas)
Hi! Here is a clip me playing Chopin's Ballade No. 1.
As you can see, there's still some parts I need to work on and perfect. :)
For Christmas music, I'm planning on learning Silent Night, O Holy Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, and maybe a few others. I will start recording them towards the end of November.
More music will be coming soon, especially those original compositions!!!
By the way, have any of you seen The Book Thief movie yet? I haven't, but I plan on seeing it very soon. From what I can tell, the music sounds great. John Williams can surely always be trusted to compose a beautiful soundtrack. :D
Until next time,
Viviana.
