i played and played and played the liturgy about 30 million times. i'm stuck on crutches in my apartment, what else have i been able to do? i woke up early, showered and got out the door and into the church way before anyone else. i played and played the liturgy... more and more mistakes plagued me.
by service time it was if someone had drugged some sort of creature without fingers, maybe a bird, and asked it to dance. instead it stumbled on keys near the right keys in almost the right rhythm.
how do i let this happen over and over again?
biphfee, i totally sympathize -- trust me that it doesn't change if you're only using 3 (or, very occasionally on the low register of the piccolo tpt, 4) fingers instead of 10 -- they still manage to do well in the privacy of one's practice studio and then act as if they're in unfamiliar territory when one is at the gig. sigh.
