that I love to play the piano!

Just wanted to share some of my favorite pieces. I have wayyyy too many, but the ones that I post now express why the piano is such a great instrument.

A few of my favorite composers (you can research them a bit on your own, if i don't get to it myself)... Debussy, Chopin, Mozart, Scott Joplin, Rachmaninov, Tchaichovsky, David Lanz, Michael Nyman, Jim Brickman, James Horner, Yiruma...

Did you know? Mozart was baptized---

Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart !! Hahaha. What a name. And I thought Wolfgang was much. Also.. does anyone remember Mario 64 for N64.... In the water world... an eerie song plays. It is the beginning of Mozart's -- Fantasy in D Minor which is on a loop. Oh my goodness it is beautiful on piano. Listen to the first min...
