Re: Performance nerves...

Thanks all for your valuable insight!

MikeC855 :
this makes a certain amount of sense. For me, "the worst thing" happened in software demonstrations during my graduate studies in computer engineering - it would take a couple of blog posts to describe THAT ONE!
=> very likely, subconsciously I might be transposing that thing.
=> this WAS new (for me) repertoire and very difficult at that, completely unaccompanied, so I had no familiarity or piano to fall back on....

EaubeauHorn :
I won't argue with you on that! At recital-exam time at the Conservatoire, I would have to take a beer or stronger drink to calm down my nerves.... as bad as that wrecked my performance ..... funny that auditions were only half as bad and public performances did not bother me...

Simonsky:
I think the biggest thing for me is difficulty concentrating.... which cyber-life (you-tube while at work and Facebook while relaxing in front of the TV) really doesn't encourage ---- "multitasking" as a lifestyle, I think, is dammaging in many other respects!
