have a ~20 year old Tonica upright piano that's half a tone off XD. Just never got around to tuning it. Heh,
I've been playing classical stuff for about 7 years. But then college happens and so I only get to play during
breaks :(. Still, it's fun. Richard Clayderman is good (seeing that someone mentioned "plaisir
d'amour"; I think that's the composer...). Currently (well, over christmas and the summer before) trying
to learn Chopin's Polonaise Op. 44 no. 5. A very fun piece to play so far. :d
i haven't yet tried a lot of anime music yet.
Yeah Richard Clayderman is an excellent pianist. I've some of his pieces actually. And also, let's not forget
Carl Doy, which I like better than Clayderman. Doy has played some great pieces from classics to movie favorites,
including Disney songs.
I forgot to mention this, but I've also played many classics like Mozart's Rondo Alla Turca, like meteorcloud
said. And some Schumann.
Say, about chinese music. I actually only have a few. They are sheet music books from Hong Kong, and thus contains
oldies from the 80-90s. I don't know if you know any artists from back then since you were only a baby back then.
Songs from people like Priscilla Chan, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai, Vivian Chow, etc.
The sheet music and CDs I'd like to get my hands on are those of Teresa Teng, Sam Hui, Paula Tsui, and the
masterpieces by Wong Tsim and Kwu Ka Fai (?). My pinyin is bad... gomen. I don't even know if you know what
I'm talking about here, because I don't know if you're mandarin- or cantonese-chinese.
Since I don't have most of the chinese sheet music, I simply listen and play from CDs by ear. It's only a
simple listen to "chord-progression-&-play-back" and the melody as well of course. But I've done that
for almost every single anime song and music I've come across. So I have a powerful sense of hearing. Jokin'
XP

Also I forgot to mention my piano. I've an up-right standing piano, manufacturer Bentley. The sound I get from it
is too soft. It's all too muffled, and not clear as crystal like those you get from grand pianos and other makes
like Yamaha, and the great German-made pianos, etc.
Actually, I got my piano before I started learning piano. That was because I was so determined to learn it that I got
one beforehand.
And for my favorite sheet music? I've no idea, because the music I love to play the most are anime songs, e.g.
Shooting Star and Sori no Mori de from Onegai Teacher, and those I have no sheet music of. So better say favorite song
here, and that depends on how well or professional I make it sound, I play so many, can't pick really. Gah...
whatever, I'll pick Shooting Star :D
I have to list all of the anime music I play so I can keep track. XP

Quote by meteorcloudI lost
my turkish march of mozart .....does anyone has that piece??????????
You're referring to the Turkish Rondo, correct? I have that.
In fact I bought like 2 years ago, the official German version. I had to buy the German copy because the Turkish Rondo
isn't licensed here in England.
I'll scan it in for you after my exams. Be sure to remind me on Thursday 20th January to scan it in case I forget.
