![]() Autumn Sonata was one of the most amazing (and exhausting!) ten days I have ever experienced.Īs for my musical background, I had piano lessons off and on for a few years in childhood, but like many attending the Sonatas, I drifted away from piano. I was terrified, let me tell you, though now that I can look back on the whole experience, I'm just amazed at how much I learned and progressed on the piano, even though two-thirds of the time, I had a camera in my hand. I wasn't sure how I'd be welcomed as the latter, but I think because I was there practicing alongside the rest of the attendees I received a warm welcome as the former, even though I showed up for Autumn Sonata with no music prepared and only a few scales somewhat under my belt (I didn't even bring a pencil to my first lesson, I was so flummoxed). ![]() I was there both as a participant and as a filmmaker. I attended my very first Sonata this October. My reason for starting this blog on THE GIANT MUSIC BOX is that now I know what all the fuss is about when I read the posts on the Sonatas Yahoo Group: there really is a caring and passionate community that has grown up around the vehicle of the piano over the decades the Sonata and Sonatina camps have been going on at 5 Catamount Lane. This first post is a little like practicing on the piano under the stairs, 15A in the Harry Potter room I'm a little shy about practicing in front of anyone (let alone performing), but I know you're just on the other side of the door, maybe checking the wheel to see which piano is yours for your next shift, or looking up your job.
