Something beautiful

Nothing is impossible
**************
[quote]A video of a young Chinese girl playing the piano is about to make your day.

The footage may force you to examine the excuses you make not to tackle those major challenges in your own life.

"Souvenir D'enfance" by Richard Clayderman is not an easy piece to play. The girl plays beautifully, with the sort of lyrical maturity not often found in youngsters new to their instruments.

Even more impressive, she first sat down at a piano a mere three years ago.

And if that wasn't enough to wow you, she has no fingers on her right hand.

Watch the amazing performance below.

Splendid. I would like to hear her on a non-Beijing piano - too clanky and clunky for my taste.

I am a bit overcome by this, memoires of my own childhood at the keyboard - while desperate to get away for footy practice - and loved ones I will never see again.

Nautilus, thankyou for that link.

Music can affect our emotions very deeply. Memories for me too of a loved one recently passed. She adored Richard Clayderman.

I really think some people are born with a talent.

True and they work very hard too.



This is another of my favourites and on my favourite piano. No I don't own the brand but I wish I did.

Thanks again, Nautilus.

One of the comments below says it for me.



Es una música que reconforta el espíritu y lo? eleva de tal manera, que nos libera de todo lo triste o melancólico.



Translates to:

It is music that warms the spirit, and lifts, so that it frees us of all that is sad or blue.

Here is a simple, beautiful song, especially given the very sad story behind it,

Hard to accept what science says, that this is it and we will never again meet those loved ones lost.
