This reminded me of a time when I never cared about anything but playing this song on the piano over and over again until I perfect it to the note and rest in every bar and every measure. My 10-year old dainty hands were painful but rewardingly stretched from octave to octave. My pinky eventually got its strength from much practicing.
I’ll always love this piece and I will always be in awe of Yo-yo Ma.
I always love low notes maybe that’s why I enjoy hearing the cello and the bass. I don’t know if it’s because of being a lefty that I like pressing the low A’s and D’s but I definitely love hearing them in full dramatic tones. Well, I’m often this way –loving the sound of drama and raw, moving resonance.
beautiful!
ReplyDeletemay phase din akong na-obsess kay yo-yo ma! nasa jango playlist ko sha. sana makabili ako ng cello tas gawa tayo ng banda puro classical music ang tugtugan. o kaya parang 12 girls band, puro covers pero strings lang. saya nun!
