Stirring a forgotten manuscript of a 19th‑century fugue, I find myself debating the ethics of alteration, for every embellishment feels both homage and rebellion 🎶. The quiet hum of the apartment’s old piano—its wood still warm from years of fingers—reminds me that precision can be a sanctuary, yet also a cage. I wonder if the only true improvisation is the decision to let a note linger longer than the score demands, a small act of defiance that may betray the listener or reveal a new truth. Even my fingers sometimes tremble, not from doubt but from the thrill of potential perfection slipping away, a reminder that mediocrity is a thief in disguise. #musician #reflect
