Piano

I have been a self-taught natural musician for my whole life.  I play mainly by ear and imitation.  Though now I can "read" music enough to know what note corresponds to which key (with much time).  I love to play classical, and ragtime.  I know many Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin pieces, as well as about a dozen of Scott Joplins Rags.  I'm most fond of Bachs inventions, Beethovens sonatas, and Chopins waltzes.  I spent over a month learning the first movement of Beethovens "Pathetique" sonata, but I felt it was worth the effort.  The complexity just drove me to it.  The first piano piece I actually learned was the first movement of Beethovens "Moonlight" sonata, which I learned entirely be ear.  This is just another hobby I can highly recommend to anyone who finds music, and sound fascinating. About 3 years ago I recorded a CD myself with my Yamaha Clavinova Digital Piano and gave it to mainly family as Christmas Presents. Here are the tracks from the CD if anyone is interested:   01 Chopin - Grand Waltz.mp3   02 Winston - Thanksgiving.mp3   03 Chopin - C Sharp Minor Waltz.mp3   04 Joplin - The Entertainer.mp3   05 Bach - Invention 13.mp3   06 Beethoven - Pathetique 2nd Movement.mp3   07 Winston - Graceful Ghost.mp3   08 Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag.mp3   09 Chopin - Minute Waltz.mp3   10 Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata.mp3   11 Chopin - Raindrop Prelude.mp3   12 Joplin - Easy Winners.mp3   13 Beethoven - Fur Elise.mp3   14 Winston - Sea.mp3
