Sonatina Op.55, No.1 (F. Kuhlau)

December 2025.
A small Christmas piano recital was held at the studio where I take piano lessons.

It was my fourth month of lessons, and for about a month to a month and a half, I focused on practicing the Sonatina for the recital. After that, I finally felt relieved.

Up until the rehearsal, I wasn't nervous at all—almost surprisingly so. But the moment the actual performance started, I began playing faster than my usual practicing tempo. I panicked, and there was no way to turn back.

Still, it was a good experience.

I've always been afraid of being on stage and felt a lot of pressure to do well. But I started learning piano simply because I like it. It's a hobby, and it's okay not to play well—and that's only natural. Thanks to that mindset, I was able to enjoy this recital.

It was warm, welcoming recital where no one was judged for mistakes or differences in level.
