I have the unfortunate tendency to take my work too seriously. Once I start a project or a task, I want to go at it with an obsessive vengeance. I usually don’t, but I want to. I attempt to gobble up so many pieces using a new technique and end up frustrating myself into taking a more balanced approach. Now I am simply taking a break from it and sight reading. Well, okay, I’m not exactly sight reading, but I am not nearly as familiar with the second movement of this Clementi sonatina as the first. I never learned it as a child, and I don’t teach it often. Playing it glasses off and nose on the score sort of feels like sight reading. It’s a chance for me to add that to the long list of skills I’m improving.
