April 8, 2017 - Piano Contest
If someone read my profile, I am pianist. In 2017, I enter piano contest but I unable to get first place. I know the reason why I cannot get first place, this is because I lack of practice. Actually, I don't have enough time to practice my piano.
The music I play during this contest is Solfeggietto. Solfeggietto is a short solo keyboard piece in C minor composed in 1766 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. It is quite difficult for me because I need to play it in fast way.
During practice, I didn't get the soul of the music. So I cannot understand it. I play it without my heart. I only play it based on music sheet and my memory. My teacher said to me, if I want to win, I need to understand the music. I try to understand the music but I cannot.
However, the magic happened in the last minutes. During performance, I can understand the music. I can feel the music soul but my fingers make a mistake. I am mistakenly press wrong key. I feel like I want to laugh to myself if I remember it.
Second music I play during this contest is Waltz Op. 64 No. 2 composed by Chopin. This music is really difficult compared to Solfeggietto. It is because exist page turner, the person suddenly change page of music sheet. So, I need to use my remembering brain to remember the music pieces.
I am so lucky because I can memorize the pieces. If not, I totally died. If I not mistake, I play this piece correctly. Even I didn't win but I am still glad because I already did my best in this contest.
