Arrrgh!

Okie, the official verdict is out. Chopin Ballade No. 1 is impossible to play! I've just heard the piece played by Thibaudet, with my eyes following the score. I must be crazy to attempt learning this piece! I've sight-read Pg 11-14 and it was sooo difficult! Because there's really no melody to it, and when I heard that part of the piece ... whooosh. This is absolutely crazy. :(

It's like knocking one's head against the wall. I wonder who in the right mind ever attempt this piece unless one is a pro?

duh.

duh duh duh.

Maybe I should go back to Mozart or Beethoven.

*knocks head on wall*

:(

Oh give me strength.

Maybe I should do more pushups. :P
