Chopin and a Fever
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Last night, I went to
my parents for some good Chinese take-out and then
my dad and I got some culture at the newly
renovated Scottsdale Center for the Performing
Arts and saw Jeffrey Siegel play some piano
works by Chopin and Schumann. This year marks
Chopin's 200th birthday. It was an amazing
concert and I really enjoy Jeffrey Siegel,
because he explains parts of the pieces and
gives a backstory before he plays the entire
piece form start to finish. It helps the
audience to better appreciate the music. There
is also a special video camera and screen above
the piano keyboard, so everyone can see the
performer's hands on the keyboard. Very neat!
This morning, I am staying with Skyler at home, because he has a high fever and a possible ear infection. This would be the first time he has been sick this school year, so we can't complain! He and I prayed that he will get better, so we can run around and play outside.
