Piano

Playing piano is one of my hobbies.
I started playing piano when I was 4. I suddenly decided to visit my old piano teacher. My teacher is 76 years old now. She is very well and still teaching some students. She used to have 2 Yamaha grand pianos, but she swapped one of them for
a Bosendorfer grand piano which is very good quality.  

She values the auditory training method very much. During the lesson, she would play chords. We had to name the notes and write them down quickly. It was really good aural training.

I usually play the same pieces, but I decided to try to learn some new pieces. I like Chopin, Beethoven and Morzart. Now, I am trying to play "Piano Sonata #8 In C Minor, Op. 13, "Pathétique" - 2. Adagio Cantabile". It is very difficult, but is wonderful piece.
