New Baby
I bought a new laptop today and have been playing with it since, neglecting the practise I much obliged. As a matter of fact, I am posting this message with my newly adopted "baby".

I like my job when it gets me my violin, cello, ipod, laptop, CDs, DVDs, lessons etc. Accounting isn't so bad afterall.

Back to Music
I did practise 2.5 hours today learning Dancla Etudes Brillantes No. 4.

The 4 Grade 8 exam pieces have been decided finally (or have it?):

Dancla - Etude No. 4
Bach - Sarabanda and Giga (D minor Partita)
Beethoven - Romance in F (still not too late to switch to Romance in G)
Falla - 6 Spannish Songs Transcription (No. 1, 2 and 6)

My accountant has told me that he's never seen anyone over the age of 40 pass the California accountancy exam, so I should not even think about it. It's that hard. I suspect most states are the same - hard. So, congrats on becoming an accountant!

Hi Alex,

Geee, thanks! I never thought being an accountant would actually get me compliments.

I don't believe anyone over 40 shouldn't pursue accountancy. It is hard, but not impossible. Just like the violin, no one here ever say someone is too old to start learning.

Greetings,
nice to see the Dancla in there. Very good stuff. Not played often enough.
Cheers,
Buri

Buri,

I prefer Dancla over Rode although for technical studies, I think they are both important. Somehow I find Dancla's studies sound less "dry", making them more interesting to learn and practise.
