Early Happy Birthday, Johann

March 20, 2007 at 9:49 PM

What better antidote to another day of twinkle than to play the Bach g minor fugue at 7:15 a.m.? The dance teacher thought it was a CD through the wall (LOL-it WAS early after all!)

Happy Birthday Johann, I guess it's today 21st. We'll have to make another cake for the gregorian birthday :)

I had to laugh when I read "the dance teacher thought it was a CD through the wall", cause almost the same thing happened to me yesterday. On monday I had to practice in my office because the music school was closed (snow storm on monday). My dear colleage Antal came the next morning and asked if I had been playing in the office, I answered yes and he said "easy to guess, so many false notes it had to be you"
I must confess I feel quite ... I wish I could play better :'(
