Oooh! A fellow pianist!
I feel your pain regarding the non-classical stuff. I was too trained in the classics, I had very little contact with anything else during the years I took lessons. Nowadays I play mostly themes from games and movies (the genre is a biiiig passion of mine), but my fingerwork is sloppy and I'm really lazy with the pedal '-_-
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
