 Re: crappy days

Dave, I noticed in the link that Sabine, who is also one of my favorite recording clarinetists, was rushing, possibly indicating she wasn't happy. (Then again, I've heard her rush at times in other recordings too.) Maybe she felt she was working too hard for her sound and, accurately or maybe not, blamed the reed.

Though I only know her from her recordings, somehow I don't get the feeling Sabine's one to opt for a day off if things get a little tough.

Actually, missing a day (or more) doesn't seem that detrimental in the longer view. It can take more than a day to "recover", so that playing in general feels at approximately the same level, but there seem to be less tangible benefits in terms of mental & physical health when one occasionally interrupts a routine, at least if the interruption is not too long and is not badly stressful.

After reflection, I realize I aborted practice yesterday at the 2 hour mark. Not long ago I wasn't able to go 2 hours on a good day. So maybe the day wasn't "lost", though I felt like a dullard, and progress was absent. I later spent a couple hours outdoors (9-deg F) doing menial tasks and walking to the store. It was refreshing.
