Chopin Nocturne Op 72 in E minor – May 8, 2008: Recital #3. Excuse the audio quality, it was recorded on a camcorder. This is only my third performance and I decided to play four pieces instead of one, which was a bit challenging for me. I started studying piano almost four years ago and can’t imagine a day without it. My hope is to inspire others to discover or rediscover their passions. Nobody in the artist’s world is perfect, including the creator/artist themselves. Classical music/piano is my passion and through music, I have learned so much about myself and life. Music has truly changed who I am and taught me perseverance.
