Is a self-centered performance a bitter note? lol

It’s true that there may be moments when it sounds that way.

But I think this is a problem that can be overcome if there is respect on both the performer and the audience.

No one can play well from the beginning.
Everyone starts with a clumsy and awkward step, and with repeated practice, they move forward little by little.

If we laugh at immaturity, the seeds of growth will stop there.

And even professionals make mistakes.
There are things that can be conveyed because it is not perfect, and imperfection is what makes music good.

Of course, for people who unexpectedly hear the sound of the pianos on display, a sudden clumsy performance may not be pleasant.

That’s why performers need to be “considerate of the people who will be listening,” and listeners should respect the fact that “someone is courageously making a sound right now.”

Music is not just about technique.
It only resonates when someone has the desire to communicate something and the heart is willing to accept it.

I think performers should always think about how they want to make those who are listening feel when they play.

The person expressing themselves and the person watching.
I hope it becomes a place where both are comfortable.
