RE: Hive Open Mic week 46, Someone You Loved

Beautiful piece and played in a superb way! I like how you let free of conventions from classical music but keep the elegance in technique and poise. You told me about certain chords that were slightly out of place. I think I saw them, but it was more of a visual cue. Your body reacts to that kind of mistake, however there's merit in going on with the performance as professional players do when something like that happens.

Hope to listen to other songs by this composer played by those magical hands soon enough.

Wait, I have to watch my video again. I didn't realize I reacted visually to the chord where my finger slipped off the key.

Edit: I just noticed that I looked down at the keys in that millisecond, like "mirada asesina" 🤣

Ha, ha, ha. That's how I knew what happened. But it's ok. I think we can't help being expressive while we play. I made a lot of faces when I sang in the choir and when I conducted. It was hilarious. 🤣

You conucted a choir? Cool!
Yes, conductors have to be like that. They have to tell with the expression on their face.
I know a choir conductor, to be exact, I hold piano lessons with his wife in the same center. He is so expressive while conducting, when someone does something wrong in the choir, he kills with his look hahaha

I was Assistant Conductor of the University's Choir for some time. I think a year or a bit more. The Conductor had this thing of throwing me in the fray from time to time, so I had to learn the job on the fly. It's a funny thing to do, but my legs where always shaking. I know the killing looks. It's needed!

but my legs where always shaking

Oh, I can imagine, mine would shake also :)

It's quite an experience!
