[Menvi-discuss] introduction and a fwhw questions

Tue Aug 23 10:52:29 EDT 2016

Yes I agree that some classical music can certainly be worth playing. If one gets musical scores, how can you find a recording of said piece. Because even ifI can read music soon, I will want to hear what I'm playing. Thanks. It is true that most of the piano players I like started with classical. I guess I just enjoy so-ing withmy music. It helps me to keep rhythm.
