I'm now studying page two of Moonlight Sonata or Sonata quasi una Fantasia.
Learning this piece is like reading one of those novels about some fantasy world with some enchanted forrest full of mysteries and rare beauty. Like a Lord of the Rings or Pan's Labirynth. I just don't get how a music composer can be that powerful, that genius, that gifted, with just one instrument.
I'm amazed... Thank you, Beethoven, for introducing me to a world I just barely appreciated as a listener before. Now that my fingers walk thru this enchanted path of magical notes, I see a world I just didn't know before.
I must admit that as I write these words, it's hard for my heart to hold back so much emotion with tears of awe and appreciation.
Thank you, Beethoven. Thank you, Michel (my coach). Thank you, God, the Tao and the Universe for this gift.

Lovely thoughts. I was looking around the internet for information about Miriam Arman because I'm about to read her book, "The Voice". Through this search I landed on your Flickr stream where you have a picture of her. Then I looked through your other pictures and profile, which led me to your blog here. I thought you might like to hear about the path one person took to find your blog.
I ordered Moonlight Sonata a few minutes ago and hope to enjoy the "enchanted path of musical notes" too. I play piano, guitar and sing... and am a photographer.
May all go well with your pursuits...
Steven
