Dear Listener,
Featured is a small video of a tune in F major, composed sometime earlier.
It has a small prelude, melody is played mostly in octaves supported by an octave bass. It is a simple tune with a dreamy feel, to be listened to at leisure.
Let me know if you like it!
Cheers...

Waldstein Sonata
Dear Listener,
After I took to Western Classical Music in 2006, came across Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata accidentally, sometime in 2007. It impressed me so much that my life-time aim once was to play Waldstein completely, at the level of Rudolf Serkin :-). The Pianistic effects of the first movement, the emotions covered in the second movement and the virtuosic grand Rondo finale make it a grand Sonata. I do not think I can ever get to hear music surpassing this true MASTERpiece. This sonata made me realize what Pianoforte, Beethoven and Music can do to us!!!
I think, over years, I've listened, understood and assimilated the second movement of this sonata. One need to play it to appreciate the depth of the piece. Attached is a short video - me playing this movement (to the best of my current abilities:-))! As it is completely self-taught, there could be discrepancies in technique and interpretation. I have taken it a little faster and maintained Pedal to achieve the sustain of Grand Piano on my digital Piano :-) for this Adagio molto.
Please watch and comment!
Cheers!
