Your Chopin works for me! I am listening to it right now. You play beautifully and sound like a pro. I love piano music. My two daughters took piano lessons for about 5 or 6 years and then BOTH gave it up.
Now my baby grand sits idle. It''s so sad. I''ll try the Ravel next. Thanks for letting us listen.
Cind I grew up playing a baby grand...I''ll certainly trade my new upright for your baby! LOL!
I think I stuck with piano when I didn''t want to as a child (more interested in dance/cheerleadiing/sports) because my mother, whose mother was a concert violinist/pianist, convinced me that the talent of being able to play piano on a whim, anywhere, anytime, was far more valuable than dancing or cheerleading, as most of my friends ended up focusing on. Something about that argument of hers struck me, and I realized that my talent was definitely outstanding among other things. There is something to be said for being the person whose presence your friends/acquaintances always covet for their parties because they know you play piano and can entertain...and many times it can actually earn you a buck or two!!!!
Cind, if there is any way your girls can be convinced to get back into piano, you should definitely encourage them...
