Going Back to Basics

For a long while I've drifted from my training in classical music. After I stopped taking piano lessons, I dabbled in some pop music, but mostly anime and video games music. Had enjoyed them for a short while. Eventually, I realised I am just playing the notes, I cannot grasp the essence of those music. Or maybe there was nothing for me to grasp in the first place.

Then I gave up playing the piano. Naturally I gave all sorts of excuses not to play the piano more often. Eventually, I can only remember how to play one song from memory: As the Deer Pants For the Water. However, I felt something stirring in me when I had the chance to hear some classical music recently. Made me realise that I still love classical music more. It is something I can understand, something I can express.
