Pianists play the same piano in the same hall differently. There have been times when I felt I completely succeeded in preparing a piano for a performance situation, but when listening to the program, I felt *very* uncomfortable with the sound and attributed it to being my fault. On the other hand there have been times when I know I failed to prepare a piano for a performance situation, but when listening to the program, the piano sounded great, and I wante to hear more. Eventually I came to grips with these circumstances and do not carry the monumental guilt load I use to of being inadequate for the task at hand. (Now, of course, I feel that way all the time :-) The performing artist makes such a difference! Keith A.
