Piano Diary (5) Comptine D’un Autre Eté
By ET
I started to play the above piano piece. It is called “Comptine d’un autre été L’après midi” by Yann Tiersen.
Basically, my biggest problem is that I don’t have time to practice. So I took a lot of short cuts. For example, for this piece, it does not require a lot of changes on the left hand. I only have from 10 to 30 minutes each day to play with the piano. Usually at noon time when I go back from work. I’d play for a while before lunch. After lunch, Ashley would be sleeping. In the afternoon, maybe I can get less than 10 minutes to play before dinner. Then it will be Alantha’s turn to play.
Note I used “play with piano” to describe my role. I just can not call this “practicing”. As soon as I can play with both hands, I started to try some difficult pieces, this turbe boosted my progress. It would take months of hard practicing if not years for others to even dare to try pieces like this. But since I do not want to be a piano master, I just want to have some fun. This approach works perfectly.

I’m still practicing it. Too lazy to shoot a video and upload. I love this piece a lot, though my wife says this is too sad.

Is this by you?
I’d say it sounds pretty good.
