I don't give up something easily. But considering this xanga thing is not going to keep up with times, plus not allowing people to backup their entries.....it's time for me to move on. A blog on my own website maybe. i dunno.
Was attending my student's competition again today. The more i see, the more i think in order to keep your nerves from breaking down during performance, it's all come down to the time spent on preparation. And it's a kind of extremely low yielding work, considering this fast pace society. Talks about my quest to a complete understanding a piece of music......recently I am trying to push the boundary to re-learn a piece so well that i can record it in 1 take, that I would really approve.
I am really interested in the idea of music dictation from memory.
Also........for the first time in recent years, I got really carried away. It's hard this time anyway. Normally the judge and I would be quite on the same front. But this time he seems to have give priority to merit a stylish performance then demerit a lack of technique. This really leads me to some thoughts. In his shoes, I would be treating both more or less in equal. As in this piece of music, both are equally needed for a successful performance.(it's not really the kind of piece that you can fool around with and get away with it.)
Of course we are talking about everyone is playing almost equally bad and we are trying to distinguish one from another out of a very hopeless situation. Plus the music is way too short i think to be used in a competition. It's hard to have a accurate overall impression in 20 seconds. Anyway, my kids are the benefactors of his "prejudice". So yeah we got off easy this time.
I don't like when the judge and me are hearing different things.....and it would be a disaster if I have some crazy ideas in my mind.
