Dear Lustlist! Then I took a break, and then I returned. When I returned they showed me the way to youtube and wimeo etc., and I saw everybody starring at signs on paper, lute in their hands, struggling their ways through the text, dead faces and stiff bodies, but : here I come! Then I took a break, put all my signs-on-paper away and started to learn one piece of music, without starring, and : here I come! I am about to learn one simple piece of: MUSIC! Best wishes Steffen Gliese
I think that amateur players, playing anything beyond the immediately familiar, have been playing - a bit awkwardly, staring at bit of music in front of them - for centuries. Professionals know, and have been taught, how to put on a performance.
