tried out the waldstein sonata. and was utterly humiliated... it's an amusing piece, you could almost say it's cute. the opening of the 3rd movement sounds like some music box thing for toddlers, until the sforzandos of course. but it's hellish - i'm sure octave glissandos (i.e. same hand, glissando 2 notes together) in both LH and RH, RH trill + melody... lol. damn beethoven, it sounds so ridiculously easy and kiddy, i was mortified to be noobified so spectacularly -.-

argh. supposed to be doing h3 but my productivity's hit the pits. doesn't help that the syllabus is like a patchwork that a couple of fuddy-duddies cooked up on the back of a dirty paper napkin after dinner. it's quite incoherent, all kinds of rather random stuff thrown in... but at least they don't have the "NE messages" column like students should understand that no one owes us a living, rofl. or "preparedness" and "adaptability" (cf. geog syllabus). gosh, spare us the bullshit.
