The Heart Asks Pleasure First

I've been practicing this piece for the past weeks... and today I've finally got into the in depth of playing this -- the emotion part...

Totally surprised myself, I nearly cried when playing... My heart was following and singing together with what I'm playing... Woah... serious! I've never felt my heart with this sad kind of feeling before...

Here's how I interpret the music piece... There are the lyrics played at the right hand, which sings what the heart wants to express... while the accompaniments played at both hands are at the background of this whole piece, which I interpret it as the things that are happening in life...

In life, there are many duties and responsibilities to be fulfilled, rules to be followed...But do we listen to what our heart wants to say? It's confusing when you need to deal with the rational side of you and the feelings from the heart... that's when I cried, when I finally understand, sometimes life doesn't allow us to hear what our heart wants, even though you can hear it shouting and expressing to you... Do we ever asks what our heart wants amidst the happenings in life? But then, the heart never gives up to express its feelings even though we choose to ignore it...sad, isn't it?

The Heart Asks Pleasure First... what a suitable title for this piece...This was written by Michael Nyman in 1993. I have to salute to him for writing this fantastic piece of work... It was the OST for the movie "The Piano". Enjoy this master piece that I've embedded... And I'm gonna master this piece of work too! Good luck to me!
