Which means 'lightning'.
This piece by Amy Ferguson won a composition competition run by 'the Pianist' magazine. They printed the score in the May issue and I made a point of getting hold of a copy as I love it.
Here's the first page; as I hoped it's not that difficult, but sounds very impressive. You have to remember to play it 2 octaves lower than written.
After I'd spent about half an hour on it, I discovered my fitness watch had added about 400 steps to the counter! That felt too much like cheating, even for me, so I took the watch off and added 400 real steps to balance things out.
I'm trying to achieve a total step count of 100,000 by then end of June. Not as a target, I don't like targets because I feel pressured by them. It's just a notion...
The first week is looking promising.

This looks a promising new book: Phillipa Perry well known psychiatrist and agony aunt, and also wife of artist Grayson Perry, has written a cosy mystery.
It's out in hardback, audio and rather expensive kindle editions at the moment, so I will have to practice patience and wait for the price to come down.
I’ve just got the Philippa Perry book from the public library - for free!
ReplyDeleteYou were quick off the mark!
DeleteI’ve read the book. Everything does tie up in the end. I’ll let you know what I thought of it (and why) when you finish it or abandon it.
ReplyDeleteThat's 'Homecoming ', I assume, not the Phillipa Perry! I'd guessed there was a clue in Jess's surname. I'll keep going as it's well written.
