Yesterday’s post brought back a memory. A piano teacher/student of mine, brought her sister for a lesson, drove off to go teach a lesson at the home of one of her students, and drove back to me for her own lesson one hour later. (And, she was not late.)
After she played the first movement of a Haydn sonata, I asked her “Who just played the Haydn?” It was wonderful watching her process this and then with great certainty she replied “The driver of the car.” And I said, “That is who I heard. Please take your time, some deep breaths, connect with your inner musical soul and play again.”
The Haydn was lovely. Change your intention, change the music, change your life.
