uploaded page d'album (page of an album)?? ... finally something that's debussy and short enough to be hosted. bleargh. my favourite prelude (bruyeres from book II) is too big! some of the shorter other pieces are not dreamy enough... and i didn't really want to upload le petit negre. still wondering why he wrote that to make fun of blacks... so racist. but i guess many whites living during his time would have felt at least a little resentment against the blacks and vice versa.

piano lesson went okay today... beethoven was, according to ms ching, better than last week. but she said i need to "hear" orchestra instrus when i'm playing, not piano. cos sonatas are symphonic. and i'm supposed to be the conductor, who's supposed to be in control... which i'm totally not. and then still need to breathe more... hahaha i guess i always eat up an eighth of quite a number of rests when i'm too kan cheong to enter with the next material. hungry glutton! =P didn't know why i actually dared to play mozart even when i didn't even practise it for the past two weeks... i guess it sort of showed when i screwed up at the usual running passages. i keep changing fingering and now my fingers are too confused to run properly! hahaha... the speed also gave me such an adrenaline rush. think she got quite fed up and we skipped to the second movement. she said it's better but still need to sing more. bleah. that's bad... i can't sing! (both literally and in terms of playing piano) but i think it's better than if i had played ravel. really cannot make it! going to do slow practise for ravel during weekend... can't wait for friday to be over!

ms ching was asking about toh chee hung masterclass at the beginning of the lesson. she asked whether proko's variation serieuses were good and what was commented or corrected. of cos she asked about kk's mozart too, in fact, that's the first thing she asked. hmmm... she wasn't surprised to hear that toh chee hung commented on kk's rushing and i think she was happy that kk can change colour effectively. i'm jealous! i also wanna change colour as effortlessly as her! then she asked about the tk girls and i really didn't know what to say... ended up saying that they had not enough strength. (sounds like me...) and mentioned that pohning said i used to sound like the girl who played britten. just dunno if i still do. didn't mention the beethoven girl's poor sense of rhythm (or laziness to count...), forgot the key of the sonata she played too... ("how can u forget! it's was just two days ago!") ... hahahaha... that's how blur i can get.

4 more days to practise! =)
