[@lindamartini4635]

Hi Adam. I've never written you a question before so I don't know how this works or whether you might see it. So I was watching your Q+A #27 from 2017 (I believe the title was 'music is not a meritocracy' ), and the last question you answered mainly regarded confidence while playing your instrument. You mentioned a jazz pianist who performed very 'physically' , involving his whole body without compromising the piece (rhythmic precision, dynamics etc. ), mastering and being in contact with the music he was playing on the keyboard. I'm aware of your explanation and that this is just a fragment of it, but although I usually have a very similar point of view to yours. I actually used to think the same thing, and for some situations it still is that way. But through learning, sharing experiences and especially growing to my own experience with my music (/instrument) teacher(s), I now have a more relative perspective. You said that not only moving your fingers (or what you need to move in order to play your instrument) but also involving the rest of your body can significantly change a performance (in a good way) and be proof that you have confidence. My point is: sometimes moving your body can take away a lot of the energy (not necessarily strength) you would concentrate on your instrument, so maybe the performance might be more exciting to see; but then again maybe, if you close your eyes and just listen, it might sound very plain, or maybe lacking something, and if the musician had concentrated and directed his energy and focus all on the touch, even staying perfectly still, it might sound much more confident and dense, than the previous performing mode. I don't want to sound arrogant, I'm just a 17 y/o high schooler from Italy, but honestly I think this is something very important to talk about. Lots of people who maybe are very confident and are great musicians are told to move more: to seem less stiff, give better 'interpretation' and - ironically - look more natural. I think that's fairly limiting, close minded and maybe even very personal. For instance, I play the piano, and maybe when I'm studying Mozart, Shubert or Ligeti, I try to direct all the energy I have to the necessary and fundamental parts of my body. When I'm playing and singing along to a jazz ballad, or even more with groovy stuff, I might instead feel the urge to move all my body, but I think that's very personal and it's something that changes from individual to individual; I think making a rule or theory for this is very unreliable, but I do think talking about it wouldn't hurt. Goodnight from Italy🇮🇹! And thanks for always teaching me so much, with nothing in return! Linda🤗

Next video: reharmonizing Rumba Mama

[@reNINTENDO]

I saw this reharmonization before Last Train Home came out, and it's actually the video that got me into your stuff. It's interesting coming back to this now that I've heard the actual song so many times. It's cool hearing some little things that did happen, but how different it actually is. Obviously that's part of the point, but considering you only had so much to work with it's a bigger contrast than the other reharmonization videos by quite a bit. Like a completely new song that fades in and out of familiarity. Also Mary with the Lunar Silver Sky. I like how you mention John Mayor's "signature strat" and then cut to Mary actually holding the exact guitar he used to make this song (albeit a different color).

[@philbrousseauable]
