Hi Winnie,

That's brilliant that you feel so secure with the technical demands of the piece. I think that is such a really fabulous foundation on which to build a bit more expression. I would give my eye teeth to be able to say that about my playing. LOL!

I think that what you say about feeling kind of like a private person really chimes in with my experience too. I suppose that getting to the place where you can kind of "let your hair down" in a public situation is quite a big step. It's definitely great that you can identify that as an area to consider though, and I bet you can have some fun playing with it, as you try different options.

Another thing I've noticed recently is that sometimes I can feel as though I am playing very expressively, but if I video myself and watch the video, it turns out that my playing sounds quite different in person from the way it sounds in my head. Often my forte playing can sound quite loud in my head, but on video it is actually not that different from the other parts of the piece. If you haven't done it much before, it might be worth videoing yourself to see if your dynamics are as noticeable from the outside as they are on the inside.

Good luck with it. It sounds as though you are really doing a great job there. :-)
