1,000 Days of Music - Day 28: Determined

I am attacking that Bach Invention as though I am determined to hunt it down and kill it, hesitation and all. Bach is like intricate knitting—one slipped stitch and the whole thing unravels. I am resurrecting it from the days I played it when I was my daughter’s age. It seemed easier then, but when I was sixteen, I didn’t have a sixteen-year-old daughter asking between seven failed takes, “Mom, can I have the phone?” With a sigh of disgust, she finally rose from her seat and stalked out in the middle of my penultimate attempt. As I was uploading the video for the second time (the first one having failed), she reappeared and asked again. She is determined.
