I went to see a piano concert tonight. My school hosted a fundraising piano concert. The pianist was an extremely amazing Russian man. The recital was devided into three parts-Bach, Chopin and Brahms.My favorite is Chopin, of course. It really did take my breath away. That particular composer always reminds me of my piano teacher-Sachiko. She loved playing Chopin whenever I was tired during my break. I am wondering how she is doing right now. Last time I heard from her that she got pain on her back. I realized that I had hard time to breathe when he finally finished his wonderful tunes. The music brought me back to my old times where I spent almost all of my afternoons since I was 12 until 19 to practice piano. God, how things have changed so much. I forgot that I had that life before. Miss it very much. I should never have stopped practicing. I should have taken more classes and practiced more.
I found myself trying to look for my missing pieces online. I found some pieces of my favorite songs I used to play. The Swan from Saint-Saens, Camille was one of them. I played this one a lot-almost every night-a very touchy one. Actually, I learned this song by mistake when I was 16 or 17. I wanted to learn Swan Lake from Tchaikovsky in the beginning but then my mom got me a wrong copy and gave me The Swan instead. Well, never regret it. It has become my favorite piece ever. I was envious to the pianist tonight. I wish I could play like him.
