Dvorak

New World Symphony is coming along nicely. The very last measure is a little difficult but I think I will have it by this weekend. Other new music is Careless Love which introduces 2 new chords that feel very weird. Hopefully I will have this down after Memorial Day.

In other news my daughter who also plays the piano has joined the band and will also play the clarinet. We got her a very nice one. I wonder if I can find any music with a piano clarinet combination? It would be cool to play with her.

With 2 instruments in the house and my fetish for collecting sheet music it may be time to invest in a sheet music cabinet of some sort.

New World Symphony is coming along nicely. The scales are boring me to tears. On a positive note the remicade is really helping the R.A. I can do so much more now.

New Post Finally

I have not ben lazy in posting just more time on the piano than in front of the computer. On the positive side I have finished up On Wings of Song. It needs a bit of polishing but I have it down. Yay for me. My next song will be Dvorak's New World Symphony the slow movement. It is not baby music.:) I am so excited I can hardly stay away from the piano.

Bastien staccato touch Jingle Bells and broken chords.
On Wings of Song last 3 bars.

My neighbor ought to love hearing Jingle Bells in the middle of June.
