Fur-elise about to finish

It has been 3 months since I grabbed the electronic organ from Zhou Zhi, the one he used to enter the palace of music but not enough for further advancement. Before I carry it back, he said, "fur-elise, that's the first piece I played". Fur-elise, the tiny elegant piece by Beethoven, although not my favorate, but probably the first classic piece I heard when I was a small boy. I decided to crack it FIRST. Searched on the omnipotent google, the score found was supprisingly 3 pages long. Except for the familiar "3#23#237216", two other parts come along to form the complete piece. Also, I found a midi version and listened to it again and again while practicing to get the feeling as well as the rhythm.

The hard things as a beginer are left hand, two hands conversation and the rhythm. I played accordion for a few years in primary school, so right hand is not a big problem. But I really cannot remember how to get the two hands work together, and the left hand needs more concentration otherwise it will be left behind. However, every skill can be learned, the only difference is how fast you learn it. I practiced many times either hand separately until the upper and the lower score could naturally flow. Then kept the rhythm slow and looked for the feeling of two hands conversation. Gradually, I found I already can play the first part which does not require two hands to talk a lot at the same time. Although simple, the success was a great inspiration. Now, after 3 months playing once and a while, the difficult and fast second part is almost finished. The 3rd part requires to control the rhythm steady and show enough strength, but not that skill required, i believe i can master it within a few tries. :D

I must say that life tastes very good if you can play some piano, in fact, very musical.
