Sunrise on the Matterhorn by Catherine Rollin - Day 731 (two years!) Progress
Today is my two year pianoversary - 731 days since I started. I have kept a log of all the things I've done over the last two years and apparently on this day two years ago I spent 4 minutes playing with a free trial of Youscian. There might have been a few beers involved. 😂 I guess we all start somewhere.
Sunrise on the Matterhorn is another of my grade 3 pieces I’ll be using when I sit the performance exam. It is very dramatic / cinematic and is loads of fun to play. I was a bit nervy for some reason this morning (cameras do that to you) and there are a couple of minor slips. I'll have to sort that out.
Learning this piece was the first time I felt like all of the theory, scales and arpeggios actually paid off. Half of the piece is made up of D major arpeggios and once you notice that, you don’t need to learn those parts and can just play them straight away - which was a very refreshing experience. Only infinity bajillion other patterns to learn.
It sounded pretty thin on the default Kawai audio so I rendered the MIDI out using Pianoteq’s Bluethner Cinematic renderer and I think this suits the piece a lot more.
