Performance Report #2 (plus recording)
-
SK, the recording is beautiful and there's so much there to be happy with. I suspect the same can be said of the other two pieces you played. We do tend to inflate glitches to unworldly proportions, when to any sane person the playing probably delivered a lot of pleasure.
I got the feeling you were being a bit unfair by comparing yourself to two music students. I'm assuming they're majoring in music, correct? If so, they've had opportunities that you haven't. Specifically: Playing for others... a lot.
Which brings me to my final point. I never felt more comfortable playing in front of people than when I was taking lessons, and a weekly group class. In the first weeks of class I'd be a nervous wreck when it was my time to solo something I had worked on and was "ready" to perform. It was awful. But, the advantage of being able to go through the process repeatedly took the edge off "mistakes" and I slowly gained confidence. It is quite true that performing needs practice just as much as technique of the instruments.
Thanks for posting the recording. I really enjoyed it.
