Sight Reading

Two more days left, I will be on my journey to Beijing for a short holiday. One thing I will miss is my cello (I am an amateur cellist) This is the new music I am going to learn, I will bring the music score with me so I can sight reading on my sister’s piano. Hopefully the tune will firmly plant in my brain when I am back.
Beautiful picture. I love the shadows that are thrown on to the sheet.

@alicias my littel torch always comes in handy.

Wonderful lighting creates the impression of abandonment and solitude!
I wish you good luck in your trip and new photo-findings!

@ksyu I am looking forward to something very different.

I have to say that I am struggling to make my cello sounds beautiful. Learn to play it as an adult cannot avoid the clumsiness. But it gives me great joy and I believe everyone can do it. By the way, I can never do what you did – Olympic thrower. Tried at university and the gravity always kick in too fast.

@yaorenliu I do love the sound of a cello and would love to hear your efforts as I'm sure they are wonderful.... any efforts of mine with regards to music were disappointing..im afraid i treated music as a mathematical equation and never understood the "art" part of it..oh well!.......also, to clear up any misunderstanding, I commented i was an olympic style thrower ( as opposed to highland games techniques) and never competed in the Olympics....internationally a few times but never at the big show!

Good luck with learning the score. I would love to be able to play an instrument. This is a super composition with the score as a background and the tiny little cello xx

@ianrm You are so humble. Have a nice day – not even sure you are in the morning or night.

Wonderful shot. Have a great holiday!

@yaorenliu 515pm here...tis you who is up early methinks!...really looking forward to your Beijing pics when you get back......

Have a great trip. Would love to be in your bag. You have given yourself a very hard task on your trip. I don't know how you read this. Love your atmospheric photo - can just imagine the cello creating the music to go with it.

A very creative shot. Love the shadows. Hope you have a great holiday.

The cello is such a beautiful instrument- much feeling comes out of its strings. But I think you must own the world's smallest cello! Have a wonderful trip- it sounds very exciting. Lovely shot.

This is a beautiful image! Your cello looks so tiny in this -- makes such a creative image. I love the sound of the cello -- you're fortunate to be able to play it. We have tickets to hear YoYoMa at the symphony this year.

@taffy @olivetreeann Taffy, you are so lucky, I never heard him live. This is a model cello, the baby of my French cello. thank you all.

Your lighting and composition are great! Almost gives you a bit of a sad feeling. Lovely to know you are a musician, too!
August 20th, 2013  
This is what I try to do from a music score- on the keyboard, though! I do like the emphasis you have put on the notes!
