One of the unexpected pleasures of teaching piano and reviewing the repertoire is that I get to play pieces I learned as a child. I played this Sonatina in fifth grade. The Chopin Waltz I remember from seventh grade and The Cuckoo from high school. Even just hearing some pieces takes me back to clear blue June evenings deepening from turquoise to indigo, sitting in the recital hall in my best dress during the Spring Concert. I don’t expect to enjoy all practice sessions as much as this one, but I’ll take the pleasures when I can get them.
