December, 2009
OK, I know I know, I have lots to update you with! There’s a lot of things to tell you about, and even more things I should be practicing. But I couldn’t help but work on another MJ tune this weekend. I spent a little more time with this one than the last (i.e. 2 afternoons), but I was happy with the result. My other Jackson 5 tune seems to make a lot of people happy, so I decided to work on this tune. Starting tomorrow I am working on relevant pieces like Rachmaninoff (coming up already in 2 months!).
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.
Anyone who dares to play Beethoven's last Piano Sonata Opus 111 must be fearless and confident in his skills. In the case of Thomas Yu, both are true...[He] plays the piece with elegance and depth...and his interpretation was the highlight of the festival day.
