Classic

I don't know what I feel right now... Nervous? Not really... maybe anxious is a better word to describe this feeling. Daunting? I'll ponder upon my word choice for a bit longer.

Anyway, I really want to play Chopin - etude Op. 10 no. 4 (link if you've never heard it before), but I don't have time. It'll take a week. Actually, it might take more than a week because we're moving this week. I'm super excited, but at the same time I feel stressed because merely thinking about the act of moving is exhausting within itself. My friend wants me to play Liszt - Campanella. Psycho. I can't play Liszt. Why? Because I'm too fat and Liszt likes staccato. If I play Liszt my arm flab will flap around so much that it could essentially wipe out a third world country. Weapons of mass destruction? Please, you haven't met my arms. Besides, you guys know about my Chopin obsession. I'm willing to put in time and effort to play his songs because they're all so amazing.

You know what else is amazing? Valentina Lisitsa. If I could ever play like that... wow. Though she does sit in an awkward position. Hmm, kind of like a hunchback. But then again I play like a gremlin, so I shouldn't be talking.
