Welcoming September

Hey!

It has been quite a while since I've updated here. I am no longer taking regular piano classes due to my busy schedule but instead I will take holiday classes only. My promotional exams is going to take place in 3 weeks time, so after I am done with that, I can spend more time to practice piano!

Aug 30, 2014 | Franz Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3 in Ab Major (Love Dream) #piano #classical by CriserlTeo on Keek.com

The above is one of Liszt's famous piece which has been on my to-play-list for a long time. I've decided to start working on that piece and hopefully it will be done by this year end, considering the amount of time I have to practice and how difficult this piece is.

September will be another exciting month as I get to dance for Teacher's Day in college and tackle my promotional exams.

Stay tuned for more,
Criserl

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!!!
