Invention No. 13

If you do not want to take the time to see both videos I recommends to watch the bottom one :)


Hello here is the link to my not so perfect, Invention No. 13 by Bach.  This is actually the worst time I have performed this song but it should give you and idea of what Bach's Inventions sounded like.  I hope you enjoy the music :) Anyway enough about me criticizing myself (which actually pushes me to do better) on this song I might post a better version latter. But for now "enjoy the show"!




Now just about 5 minutes after I posted this I did it again.... This one is better than the one I posted earlier, not much better I still can not believe how horribly I did.  But for know here is another video of me playing Bach's Invention No. 13!

The Diamond of Darkhold

The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne Duprau is the fourth and final book of Ember This book contains 285 pages of adventure that leads to the finale of the Ember Series. Doon and Lina (spoiler alert) go back to Ember to find a mystical object that a book was written about for the people of Ember. Something terribly horrible happens and Lina has to go back to Sparks to save something or someone. Not before another unexpected thing happens where Lina ends up not going back to Ember but herself rescuing the troubled person in need. I do not want to give much away so all I am going to say is Doon and Lina are both safe in the end.

Devil's Trill Summary


Quick/ Fun Fact: This picture represents the story of Giuseppe Tartini who encountered the devil that played a very technical but beautiful song.  The Devil told Giuseppe to write the sonata that was called Devil's Trill.  Giuseppe tried to impersonate the song the same way the the Devil played, but he said " this song is such disapproving to my reputation".


Summary: The Devil's Trill is a novel by Gerald Elias where two main protagonists Jacobus and his new violin student, Yummi,  travel through New York and Japan to solve the mystery of a stolen violin. Eventually, Jacobus and Yummi encounter a murder of a rival violin teacher of Jacobus.

The Devil's Trill Songs

So my book project book, The Devil's Trill, is kind of based of the song Devil's Trill. The Devil's trill is by Giuseppe Tartini. I just feel that I should post the songs.  The songs are ordered from 1st movement to the 4th and last movement.  The last movement is the one I like the best so you should play that one first. :)Here is the link.

The Lost Symbol has 639 pages, and is the third and final book in the Robert Langdon trilogy by Dan Brown.  This time Robert traveled to Washington D.C. for an appointed lecture, but instead he found a thing most peculiar.  He traveled all through Washington D.C. to find the Ancient Mysteries, but he had to hurry because one of his friends life was at stake.  This is a suspenseful novel and a very good recommendation, BUT even though this story is not as bad as The Davinci Code . I would ask my parents first before reading this trilogy!!!! 

A Dream Fulfilled

                                                                        A Dream Fulfilled
                                                                           by Anthony




What happens to a dream fulfilled? 


Does it shine like the morning sun?


Or flow like a silk handkerchief in the wind?


Does it dance like a firework in mid July?


Or soothe like a mother comforting a baby?


Maybe it soars like comets up in space.


Or does it motivate?
