3 piano plays

 Had a little fun today, messing around with chords and interval jumps. 

Happy Birthday x2

 Happy birthday to Mauro Giuliani and Enrique Granados, born this day 1781 and 1867 respectively. 

Mad World

 It is a mad world out there... 

And I'm a bit rusty

Back on the piano

 Thought I'd give it a try today. See if I could manage it. It went well but I'm terribly rusty. 

Happy Birthday x2

 Happy Birthday to these 2 musical pioneers

Happy Birthday Erik Satie and Marcel Moyse

 Happy Birthday to these two. 

A flautist and a pianist/composer.

Guter Mond

 I took a recorder piece and played it on piano, working out my own LH part.

German Dance

A Schubert piece in The Classic Piano Course book 1

Piano times 2

 A hand independence exercise, played with my eyes shut, and a bit of piano fun that I came up with.

World Piano Day

 Happy World Piano Day 2026!

Czerny op.599 no.1

 Played at speed, with the metronome, and with repeats. Was a bit of a workout!

Working on a Schubert piece

 A piece in the Carol Barrat book I've been working on, a German Dance by Franz Schubert. A lot of work and practise needed.

Happy Birthday Sviatoslav Richter

 Happy Birthday Sviatoslav Richter, born this day 1915

A snippet of My Life

 Probably my favourite song by Billy Joel. I don't have sheet music for it so I had to figure it out myself.

Czerny study

 Settled on learning the first Czerny study, op 599 no.1. Even if I go no further I have a nice piece I can use as a warm up!

Lean on Me

 I was messing around playing melody in the left hand over RH chords, and I ended up playing a part of Lean On Me by Bill Withers.

Serenade

 A guitar piece called Serenade I magically transferred to piano.

Happy Birthday Scott Joplin

 Born this day 1868

Donna Donna Donna

 This one took a while. Those octave jumps in the left hand are tough!

Oktober

 A little something for spooky season, pedal held down throughout
