Summer’s Left is the name of one of my favorite piano songs. About three years ago, I found a rearrange piano album named Kanon Air Piano Arrange Album “Re-feel” (also known as Re-feel for short) on the Internet. I loved this album very much, so I asked my friend’s help to buy this CD from Japan because it didn’t sell in Taiwan. The price index in Japan is higher than the one in Taiwan, so I paid about NTD 700 which was the double of the normal price for CDs in Taiwan, however, it was worthy! I have listened to this album for hundreds times.

Beside the CD, the publisher also provided three piano scores of this CD so that buyers can play the same music as the songs in this CD. As a young man who has learned piano for a while, of course I gave it a trial after receiving the CD immediately. After some trials, I found that the scores are absolutely correct, so I can play the same music as the songs in this CD in deed! However, the premise is that I have good enough skill.

During these years, I practice my skill in piano sometimes. Although I don’t practice with much time, I still improve my skill a little. This summer, I made up my mind to challenge these songs again. I chose Summer’s Left as the first target because this is my favorite one in this CD. I like its name, too. Actually, the original name in Japanese is 夏影 which means the shadow of summer, but I found that the name in English is Summer’s Left. I don’t know the reason why the publisher changed the name in English, but I like it. The name Summer’s Left reflects similar feeling as夏影 in both Japanese and Chinese; however, the direct translated name Summer’s Shadow is somewhat weird.

I have practiced this song for nine days and currently I can play through it with some minor mistakes. I still can remember the touch of pressing the lower octave E minor first time. With the wind and sound of the summer, the touch was born from the keyboard and went through my body via my left little finger. How nice it will be when I finish the whole song! I think I can play it with almost no mistakes this weekend, and then I can concentrate on expressing my feeling. To finish playing a whole song is just a beginning of performing it, and to express the feeling is the hardest part. Now the fight is going to begin!
