Slogan: Unfinished Projects




Hye folks,

Seeing as I didn't exactly overuse the slogan for last month, I'm going to continue on for the few entries I make this month.


I am beginning to wonder if there is any such thing as finishing in the way I mean it to be. I think of something being completely finalized in some way. But, it could be that my thinking is incorrect, there is only completed to the limit of my expacetaions and abilities at the time. I have come to an appropriate place to stop and call it finished. It could be the perfectionist in me that is always looking for stretching myself beyond my abilities. When I make lists of music to practice, I always learn the right hand well and try to come in with my left, or I change the left hand to more simplistic chording for accompaniment. As there are few pieces that I can do according to the original music I seldom feel that I have accomplished my challenge.



The list of pieces that I am able to play completely thru with a small amount of left hand accompniment are as follows: Wisteria (original music), Happy Birthday, Star of County Down, Swan Lake exertp, Sakura, Here Comes the Bride, Saint Basal's Hymn. Its a good list, solid pieces to continue improving upon. I have received some new pieces of work from a friend and I'm thinking I'll begin putting them down on a list of never tried pieces to add onto my current music. Searching for Lambs, Flow Gently, Sweet Afton, Whispering Hope.



I think if I am able to maintain the new thinking and not revert back to the more negative thots that cause me to feel like I'll never get it right, I will make better progress.



That's all for now, I have to go make my list for tomorrow now.



Cheers, Meg
