 Re: Why gains in the practice room don't stick

I deliberately didn't say this bit in my previous post; but I decided to say it now.

The point about 'aware' practice is not that it is dedicated to 'perfection'.

It is rather dedicated to making a correlation between what we do, and what the result is.

In that scenario, we learn something from an action that leads to an UNdesired result.

Furthermore, it may well be that 'perfection' is not determined as an absolute. It may well be that a result that is perfect in one context is not perfect in another.

And vice-versa.

I well remember a conversation I had with an American critic in Venice, at dinner after a performance at La Fenice. We were speaking of a particular recording by a British orchestra, that he thought wasn't any good.

"Well," I said, "I thought that it captured the spirit of the piece rather well."

"Oh, you British," he said. "You just don't understand that incompetence is a deal-breaker. So when you listen to American orchestras, you just can't stand ALL THAT PERFECTION."

(And I can't:-)
