@smlpcollective41667 жыл бұрын
This is a very important aspect that is very much overlooked. Starting musicians, especially kids, think that mistakes should be avoided - you need to stick to the sheet. The more you start discovering yourself as an artist, you realise that mistakes are beautiful... they take you to places you never thought existed. Mistakes must be embraced, they must be welcomed, forgiven, and accepted. I know there is a video of Yo yo ma (cellist) somewhere on youtube where he welcomes, acknowledges the first mistake he makes in a concert - and then continues playing. That's great philosophy for life right there!

I think what appeals to most that like Kurt and Courtney is that they are very human. For whatever reasons not one of Kurt's better days but there are times he is just on fire. He seems to overcome a lot to perform live. Yet he never says he is uncomfortable. I first saw Courtney on Austin City Limits, she just took the place over. She is a breath of fresh air. She seems almost like Kurt's big sister here. If you are looking for perfection I would suggest robotic electronic music that is programmed so that there is no deviation from the written music or symphonic music, where if there is a flaw it is covered by others. If you find that stimulating more power to you.
