Have you ever worked extremely hard on something only to have all your plans ruined? About three months ago, I started working on learning a piano piece. It is a very complicated and beautiful piece which has been super challenging for me to learn. It uses almost all the keys on the piano, which I love, and it requires a lot of crossing hands.

Long story short, it is hard piece.
