Actors, musicians, is there a role or a piece of music that you wanted to learn but never got the chance?Back in the day when I was in my prime, I wanted to play Beethoven's 9th symphony.We had a great orchestra and band and chourus but it never happened. How about you?

You tried to play, fine. I am listening and listening but getting lost every time I listen to Beethoven's 9th symphony. It just goes over my head.

It is a little difficult. It is a combination of a regular symphony And an Opera. Don't give yourself a hard time. A good "Beethoven starter " is his synphony 5. The first 4 notes will sound familiar. I did get to play the 5th. It is easier to play too.

In my case, it's "Fur Elise".

Another Neethoven piece! What is it about Ludwig?

This never really happened to me. I like a lot of folk music from around the world, and I play by ear. I have perfect pitch, and can usually "play" a song in my head (know how to arrange it if I was going to sit down and play it on the piano) before even looking at a keyboard. There are many songs that I have not yet played, but could if there was a keyboard infront of me.
