Music for Writing, Thinking, Dreaming
Sometimes a girl needs a little Chopin for inspiration. This is my favorite nocturne, played by a girl named Hannah.
Wow. As an intermediate level pianist, I can vouch for how difficult any Chopin Nocturne is to play. And this girl plays it with such emotion. Most children who play well can handle the technical parts, but cannot infuse the emotion in the piece like this child can. She's amazing. I can only dream of playing this well.

Oh, that was sweet!
