Working on #s 7 and 8. Must keep track of days here.
The neighbors are out now, so it's practice time. A flat major, Waltz #8. How does one name a Waltz? Some HAVE names. Like #2 "Valse brillante." I guess that was a particularly brilliant one. #1 was apparently even better, it's "Grande Valse brillante" which should be easy to memorize since I memorized it as a kid. OH! I could make a list - those I've played and memorized previously, or not. Lois likes the ones I've not played because I haven't destroyed them with bad habits yet.
Yesterday I went over and over and over and over - you get the idea - sections of pages 3 and 4 which aren't as fun to play as 1 and 2. Or 52 and 53, in my book. Page 53, the key change to uh, what has 4 sharps? That would be E major. I have to count on my fingers as if I were at the keyboard to figure that out, which will NEVER do. Lois would certainly throw her head into her hands over that one like she did a few lessons ago, after I played ONE note. And then she made a sound - sort of like, occhhhhh.
OK must get back to my plain old "Valse." OH! This will be important, Op. 64, No. 3. What is an opus anyhow? Will check on line music dictionary now.
