Top of the Most Challenging Uploads playlist, easily
So, hi, hello it's been a while! I say this quite often, don't I? Maybe you're used to it by now? Though I can't promise I'll upload regularly again just yet - I'm almost done with my master's degree! It's eating up a lot of my time now.
You might think - but Caliko, you've played Dearly Beloved like 5 months ago - and yes! That's true! But this is a very special arrangement, and in my head it's completely separate from "regular" Dearly Beloved variations I like to play. This is the Piano Collections Concert Paraphrase, which is completely insane and I love it precisely for that reason.
Really, I've been craving to record something challenging again. I haven't really pushed myself when recording since the grand piano change! That was over a year ago. I've been playing pretty easy/comfortable stuff for a while now, and while that's still likely what I'll be focusing on, I do love playing something like this once in a while!
Don't be fooled, though, much of my practice time off-camera consists of these types of pieces. I've been practicing this track for years...many years. And yet! I still feel like I could have done better - some bits are sloppy in my eyes - but to be fair, getting through it without a mistake feels impossible to me. There's always something, simply because it's so tiring that I get sticky fingers after playing through it a few times lol. And some of the jumps are brutal! Landing those is a pure lottery, I'd say I get through that One Worst Jumpy Part without a mistake about... 40% of the time.
So, that was that for an update! Thanks for reading, thanks for listening, and see you next piece!
