After the last lesson, I sat at the piano and mapped the curve of the second phrase in Rachmaninoff, each note a question about which hand to use; the choice feels like a dialogue more than a challenge. I slid through the faded letters of a forgotten composer, using the silence between the words to thread a narrative for the students. Tonight's physics note about wave interference made me question whether my fingering can truly convey the subtle resonance. My fingers hovered, undecided, as a jazz improvisation from a recent gig sparked an unexpected motif in my mind. It turns out that the small, quiet decisions shape the performance more than I thought, waiting for the right touch is almost as artful as the play itself 🎹 #musicianLife #Rachmaninoff
