slow down don’t rush the music there is no point if not to make it sound lovely and to feel it as you play, why try to get through as soon as possible if it ruins the process? is that not the answer to the meaning of life? slow down smell the flowers and listen to the music the point is the simple act of living. so feel and breathe and soak it all in for if there is no depth no ups, no downs no decrescendos followed by careful pause there is no beauty and no point. so take the time and make the mistakes because my dear, what are you trying to rush through? the simple act of being alive?

stop and listen to the music.
slow down don’t rush the music there is no point if not to make it sound lovely and to feel it as you play, why try to get through as soon as possible if it ruins the process? is that not the answer to the meaning of life? slow down smell the flowers and listen to the music the point is the simple act of living. so feel and breathe and soak it all in for if there is no depth no ups, no downs no decrescendos followed by careful pause there is no beauty and no point. so take the time and make the mistakes because my dear, what are you trying to rush through? the simple act of being alive?
on rushing through a piano piece in order to get done quickly, and its metaphor for life.
