Some news regarding the recital.

I talked with my teacher this morning, and there is a high school who will get a new building in September. She's planning to rent the auditorium for the recital. Hopefully, there will be an acoustic piano, probably not a grand but an upright piano, it's only a high school.

Very nice Serge, how long have you been playing if you don't mind my asking? A beautiful selection to be sure and you played it very well.

Bravo! Great job. Yes, when you are in the zone and just play without ‘analysing’ Is bliss. And why you put in all those hours of practice.

Over the years, I've been in and out of piano, I started in 1995-2000 with a teacher, I discovered PW in 2006 and gave the piano another chance, I stopped in 2012 because I was too busy. Last year, I was back at the piano with a teacher, and this time I'm very committed about piano learning.

You look so in control and relaxed. As if there is nowhere else you'd rather be. My problem in recitals is I get nervous and rush through everything, almost feeling apologetic for taking up the audience's time. I'm learning from your video to just sit and simply take my time with the piece. Thanks for sharing.
