Re: Playing With Emotion

"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."

This expresses very well my own experience. When I watched a video of a band performance where I had a fairly extended solo passage which I thought I had executed with feeling and expression I was surprised at how wooden it was. The playing was OK, all the right notes in all the right places, but overall the emotion and feeling that I experienced didn't come through. Having seen that, it wasn't hard to improve the presentation for the next time. Having someone record your playing might help you.
