Did Michael Chapdelaine tell IN WHICH REGARD his eyes were opened by Segovia's behaviour? Did he explain WHAT he learned? Is it obvious WHY his playing pleased the maestro afterwards? Is there any INSIGHT or only a clever guy trying to accomodate to a brutal social game? My first guess upon watching the video would actually be: The student felt an urgent or even burning need to be taken serious and even be praised by Segovia and was totally shocked by his reaction. He was speechless in the situation, humiliated and probably very angry against Segovia, but without expressing his feelings. Then he coped very quickly by understanding what he had to say and how he had to play in a renewed effort to be welcomed in the family. And he cleverly did so. So it looks to me.

And in the student's discussion of the event, he says Segovia's criticisms and behavior were justified and an eye opener. That same student later plays for Segovia who praises his performance.
