You are an author and have just finished writing the book you expect to be a best-seller. Write the dedication page that is at the beginning of the book.

comments

Eres escritor(a), y ha terminado de escribir el libro que espera que va a ser un bestseller. Escribe la dedicatoria que pones en este libro.

A side note: Most books I've read usually have dedication pages with incomplete phrases. That's normal, so feel free to write like that in this thread.

P.D: Muchos libros que he leído tienen dedicatorias con frases incompletas. Es aceptable en este hilo.

My book is a collection of original piano scores.

Mi libro es una colección original de partituras por para piano.


I dedicate this music to "Yummy", my late pet cockatiel, who sat on my arm while I composed and played the piano, and inspired me to compose according to her various moods. "Yummy (1994-2008)" left a song in my heart that I will never stop singing.

Dedico esta música a "Yummy", mi difunto cacatúa mascota, que se sentaba en el brazo mientras componía y tocaba el piano, y me inspiró a componer de acuerdo con sus estados de ánimo varios. "Yummy (1994-2008)" dejó una canción en mi corazón que nunca voy a dejar de cantar.
