God damn it. Just checked out a book of Beethoven sonatas, and lemme tell you it's a damn good thing it has a long loan period. Silly little me thought that after three years of no lessons and very little serious playing I could just sit down and play the Pathetique sonata.

Me: *whistling, opens book*
Sixty-fourth notes: YAAARRR!
Me: *SQUEAK*

And that was when I remembered how much my sight reading sucks.

Beethoven. What a novel way to procrastinate on all those readings I have stacked up.

And by the way, I finally got around to listening to the random Voltaire mp3s I had lying 'round. And now I am strangely amused. No, make that extremely amused. Especially by this song.

*giggle* too true.. I'm here from metaquotes, and know that feeling all too well.

The Moonlight Sonata is approachable if you can stretchy your hands far enough, though I've not got past the first bit yet :)

Ah yes, my old friend Moonlight Sonata. I can get through it, but not without mangling all the accidentals horribly about halfway through...
