RE: Remembering a Composition

You played some instruments as a child? I didn't know that :)) That is nice!

Yes, it would take some practice again. but you will probably be able to play some of the pieces (after some practising)

Why do I say some pieces and not all? Well, what is happening to me is that I could play for example this one, without problems, I needed a bit to wipe off the dust from it in my mind and in my fingers, but I could play it eventually. However, there are some compositions I will never ever be at the level to play them again :/
Those giant pieces from the period of romanticism, really hard compositions by Franz Liszt for example. Those need some transcendental technique that I don't have anymore!!! 😔 I suppose I am not 20 now hahaha, and don't have the time/habit/mind to practice several hours a day. Life happened 😂

So...which musical instruments did you play as a child? 🎶

Sort:  

Yes I did… started with a wooden flute in school, then bugel ; it is some kind of trumpet 🎺 did that the longest. Even played with it in an orchestra.
Next to that I played keyboard at the teachers and at home I was learning it on an old harmonium. One of those where you have to pump air with your feet to make the sounds with the keys 🎹
Very old and hard. Lol

But that is many many moons ago hahaha
That is why I said one day I want to teach myself to play the saxophone 🎷
And a hand drum would be nice.
If I have plenty of time… of course. As I was once musical.

But yes like you say, life happens. We are not that young anymore, we either fully give it up or just don’t have the time anymore to give it the attention it needs.

But believe me, you are doing soooo really well…

Wow, bugel, that sounds interesting. The wooden flute or recorder is very well known for me too, but how great you played that long trumpet too. And in the orchestra 👍

I know harmonium, played that one, with feet you have to pump the air to get the sound while you play the keyboard! 🎶🎶

I like this "many moons ago"

maybe I will use it sometimes too, to avoid using "many years ago" hahaha

Saxophone, I hope you can fulfil your dream to teach yourself to play it :)) 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Those were great times as a child indeed.
Cool you know what I mean with the harmonium, not many do.

It’s my go to line… just love using it… “many moons ago” we can do that now as we are a little tiny bit older 😉 it doesn’t work as a teenager or in your twenties 🤓

Thank you so much… I keep you posted on the saxophone bit. I would like that a lot… but so many other things go first. But I won’t forget about it. 😁

Good night @mipiano 💤💤😴😴

Yes, we can definitely use it hahha

Sometimes I use also : a few decades ago . hahaha but indeed makes us old then. So, moon is better 😜

Yep… let’s stick with many moons ago. Sounds much better and more elegant 🥰😁

Yes, more elegant, indeed 🥂

Cheers to that 🍾🥂 😁
