What are notes for?! I'm going to use them to say things that I think are interesting that are slightly too long to go in my status bar...
At the moment I'm learning a piece by Bach - it's the 4th movement of his second partita for solo violin and it's very very beautiful... when Arthur Grumiaux plays it on my cd. When I played it yesterday it sounded horrible. Ok, so he has the advantage of probably playing in some amazing chapel with THE BEST natural reverb ever and I was in my scritchy scratchy living room, but I was still playing it really terribly - I just couldn't get the feel right. The problem was, I was getting so caught up in the minute detail of trying to get the notes and the bowing right, trying it slowly etc. that I had totally forgotten that's it's a 'Giga' - a type of dance. As soon as I tried to play it like a dance, it sounded much more musical.
Never lose sight of the bigger picture - God is about relationship, not just theology :)
