OK, I know some consider this Mozart piano sonata as just a simple ditty for kids to work out on (Mozart himself described it as “for beginners”). But I found an old CD of it the other day played by none other than my fav pianist for this sort of thing–Alicia De Larrocha–and upon listening to it I was transported to a far, far better place. And now, you may join me there!
Thank you for the memories of my piano-learning childhood.
When I hear my daughter play piano than I ever did, it gives me chills, and I hope to one day play with her. There’s no greater gift to share with our children than music in my mind.
Well said! My kids play circles around me too–for which I’m very happy.
