What would happen if you tried to play just a few lines of the Mozart =
the way they should be played? I'll bet you'd learn a lot and probably =
be a better player for making the effort.

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.
