Great News!!

My boss is selling to me a keyboard he never uses at a really good price. Its quite old but has all the features I want. Velocity sensitive, after touch and a quality piano sound. It doesn't have hammer action weighted keys but thats expensive territory. He's bringing it in tomorrow and I can't wait. Its been a while since I've had a keyboard and the exercise will do my fingers good. Especially after my recent mishaps! I've always wanted to learn The Piano Sonata No. 16 in C major, K. 545 by Mozart and when I do I'll film myself and put it on youtube.

Sounds great Mr.R! You must be very excited!
Well, get down to practising the sonata, and yes, make sure you let us hear the outcome when you're ready. Enjoy the process!

[MrRottweiler]

Thanks Nina. At least someone cares

Thanks Nina. At least someone cares

i care too Rotty, just wasn't home when u posted
i agree with Nina, u should let us judge the outcome & i'm pretty confident it will be a great one since u sound so enthusiastic about it

enjoy m8

Cheers Sam

I've wanted to learn the piece since I heard it on The film Groundhog Day and have watched a few videos of it being played and it looks quite easy although it sounds difficult. I'm concerned about all the late nights now. Maybe this is the bosses cunning way of giving me the boot.

I guess the neighbours should concern about their nights out good luck Rotty. Tho I thought you wanted to try out my small upright piano

Thanks April and I would love to try out you piano as every piano has different qualities. An electronic keyboard is no substitute for the expressions from a piano. Now I have something to learn pieces all the way through for when you host a TSF party at your pad

Can't access youtube and am intruiged about what the music is??

[April madness]

It's Chopin's Grand Valse Brillante

[MrRottweiler]

Ahh Chopin. I listen to him every day.

[April madness]

cool I like to listen to his music from time to time

[Nina]

Thanks Nina. At least someone cares

Was there ever any doubt?
I'll be looking forward to the sonata, and maybe you can practise on some Chopin after that - and how about some Liszt also?

Consider it done Nina Anything in particular? Bear in mind I can't read music so ideally they should already have renditions on youtube so I can just listen to it over and over again and copy the fingering

I can play bits of Girl With The Flaxen Hair by Debussy and will be learning that in its entirity as its such a beautiful piece.
