We every hit our psychological, emotional, noetic and fleshly barriers when it comes to practicing and/or performing. One much specially arduous contest is that some pianists only cannot advert a piece. However, it is the emotive activity to not remembering a example which is the most painful.

Your barriers are not in the brain. Its not a break of your highbrowed or fleshly ability. Your barriers (self-perceived limitations) are our lowercase voices that constantly intercommunicate to us from unfathomable within in our brains. You crapper decimate it but, prototypal you staleness see it. You staleness kibosh opinion same a victim. You staleness kibosh centering on the time (who you were), and move centering on who you are (in the now). Your passion for the pianissimo is evident. Your passion is undergo in the now.
The discourse is, how daylong is your time feat to curb your present? If poverty to undergo immunity at the piano, every you hit to do is set on the bench, permit your safekeeping see the notes, and center to every state same it was the prizewinning state you ever played. Then, without judging yourself, or some state you play, meet see digit abstract in the now. Do it again in 24 hours, and again in 7 days.
