SEEKING CHOPIN


Chopin has always been my favourite composer. I began piano lessons at the age of seven, through to sixteen. My first teacher was excellent, though a long way from home for a seven year old to travel to by train. The second teacher was awful but what would a seven year old know? Three years were wasted until I began with a wonderful teacher, Mr. Blake LCM, and the three years were caught up within one!

Wikipedia and www.chopin.pl are wonderful resources to read about Chopin and, one of my favourite YouTube videos is of Lang Lang playing the Nocturne, Op.27 #2. Here it is - hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
