The Art of Just Playing

June 1, 2013 at 10:55 PM

It's fun just sitting (for me, standing) and playing violin on a rainy afternoon. I played things from my big binder of random violin music and printed out more stuff from imslp.org to sightread. From 4:40pm-almost 6pm, I played Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Mozart, Holst, Debussy, a little Vivaldi, and... I think that's it. So I was all over the place. Either way, it was a fun (and better) way to spend the afternoon, taking a break from studying, then sitting at the computer playing a video game. I didn't dare compose, because then I wouldn't be focused on my finals. Tuesday at noon, I'm heading home and, after re-listening to everything, I'm getting started right away! :)

At the end of the day, this is what it is about for most of us. Just playing... loving the music. Nothing more or less.

Yep! I think I tell myself that twenty times a day. :)
