i love the sound of a flag whipping in the wind.

this morning i played my violin in church. i did a short movement from a bach solo sonata, which is really difficult, but we have a new sanctuary and the acoustics are really great, so that helped out with the sound, i think. the thing that caught my attention, though, was that in the past when i have performed on violin, i’ve always been so nervous that i wasn’t able to play quite so well as i can when i’m alone in my room, and those times were all with a piano accompaniment. this time i was completely alone at the front of the church, but there were no jitters, my palms weren’t sweaty…so that was cool. i think it went well, overall, and i had fun doing it. i might even keep practicing this summer just for kicks.
