moonlight sonata makes one cry. 

no, not because of the emotional part, where you think of how beethoven led his life even though all the odds are against his talent, but more like he was so troubled, that he wrote complicated notes, thinking that anyone can play like him. 

ok i'm not complaining, really. i think the best way to interpret this piece, would be playing it with such emotion that shows how painful it was during the course of learning the piece. 

i'm half thinking of giving up the prelude, because its not an advantage when i'm playing moonlight. come to think of it, i'll be playing moonlight movement 3 before the prelude, which both consist of running notes. fast, furious running notes. i mean, if i were the audience, i wouldn't enjoy listening to the sound tired fingers trying to catch their breath. if i were to play the prelude, i think i would be trying too hard to show off. 

i should play an etude. don't come suggesting chopin, because i'm not good enough for him. his works are way too amazing for anyone to even perform them with his humbleness. how he wrote such great pieces and never playing them with a glorious, proud sound. how can anyone play it like him?
