What you’re playing isn’t as important as how the music comes through you. It’s not what you’re doing so much as the energy that you’re following. You’re allowing the energy to move through you, and when you play one note, it’s enough!
“Bright cap and streamers,
He sings in the hollow:
Come follow, come follow,
All you that love.
Leave dreams to the dreamers
That will not after,
That song and laughter
Do nothing move.
With ribbons streaming
He sings the bolder;
In troop at his shoulder
The wild bees hum.
And the time of dreaming
Dreams is over —
As lover to lover,
Sweetheart, I come.”
James Joyce | Chamber Music
