I totally agree. I don't play the Mozart (except if I have to, for an
audition or something) because I don't feel that I can play it the way it
should be played. I did play it when I was fifteen, for an exam, but I
haven't played it seriously since, because my perspective on the piece has
changed (when I did play it, I played it the way I thought it should be
played, but that was then!) and my musical demands for the piece are way
higher now. Maybe in another few years I'll go back to it and be able to
get out of it what I want to, but not right now. I'm nearly 21 now, and
I've been immersed in music my whole life, but 21 years of music is not
enough for the Mozart.
