"The Journey of the Little Piano Princess: The Italian Encounter" "鋼琴小公主的故事 ~ 我的鋼琴老師"意大利佬"

The little Princess was left to search for a new teacher and so, her father took her back to the piano workshop where he had bought the piano for his daughter and decided to consult one of the managers. 

The piano studio was a moderately large place fully packed with pianos of all sizes, shapes and finishes, instantly giving off a warm cosy feel with a hint of history lurking amongst the dusty cushioned stools and historic pianos. Amongst them were shiny brand new specimens, like elegant proud horses waiting for the rightful master to tame them and train them to their full potential, unleashing the power and the grace they had at every touch.

"The Journey of the Little Piano Princess: Musical Talent?" "鋼琴小公主的故事 ~ 小公主的音樂天份？"

Since a young age the little Princess had been exposed to a vast array of music, ranging from Bach and Mozart to Jazz and 60's Rock. But even before that, at less than a year old (8.5 months to be exact) whilst travelling on public transport in the comfort of her mother's arms, she could replicate the various sounds of a passing ambulance to the exact phrase length, delighting an elderly lady sat nearby who smiled kindly at the Princess' mother who was taken aback by her daughter's sudden action.

The Princess' sensitivity to music was thereafter highly noticeable; even during deep sleep the baby Princess' would wake up as soon as a certain song was played on television for the opening of a drama series and promptly fall back to sleep as soon as it was finished.

Music was always played in the house, and the first classical and also piano piece the little Princess heard must have been La Campanella by Liszt; her parents had taken her with them when her father had decided to purchase an audio system which was playing the said piece.

Prelude to "The Journey of the Little Piano Princess: 鋼琴小公主的故事"

I think my initial intention of writing a blog was to share the stories of 鋼琴小公主 and her experiences through the eyes of 小龍女. 

The little princess had many difficult and also many rewarding moments in her journey through music; discovering, studying and exploring. Music is the only thing that could bring tears of both happiness and immense sadness to her eyes; it is the only thing the little princess had experienced which brought her so close to the clouds in the heavens and yet the same thing could make fall into the abyss towards the gates of hell. It was and still is an irreplaceable passion.

Via this blog, selected moments and short stories will tell the tale of the Little Piano Princess' musical journey and what she discovered about music, but more importantly, herself and the people around her.
