Re: Musical stuff
Thanks @Kurra
Will do .. just started back on descant after learning to read in F .. I just have a performance edition of 8 pieces. There is a little indication of articulation in it and I have seen some fabulous renditions on utube.
Not doing lessons at moment.
I am half dutch and bought the book about 12 months ago .. but I seem ready for them now ... last year I looked at the variations like a pianist ... but time this year to look online .. utube vids showed how expressive each variation actually is ... so I figure memory is the best way .. and a useful distraction from getting into a low mood .. as they are really beautiful.

Re: Musical stuff
Memory can be useful but it can also become very limiting. Listen to a few different musicians but then allow the music (and how it affects you) actually speak to you. Once you reach this point you can apply your own interpretation.
Music is just dots and lines that have no meaning until you as the co-composer (through your interpretation ) bring it to life.

Re: Musical stuff
How about finding something where the words give you what you need but a bit faster than slow with a good strong bass line. Like a solid beat that gets right inside you.
I'm not saying fast just not really slow.
Salted encrusted hugzzz. Just watch out for the barnacles.

Re: Musical stuff
Padmasana? @GonePirate
Music is great to fill the spaces when words arent there.
@Kurra Yeah I just call them black dots to kids and am very clear they are just a tool and not actually music.
its just cos of neck etc .. am flat on my back a bit .. but I can play recorder lying in bed .. the piano is not so easy! I only started a few days ago with the van Eyck. ... for about 2 decades my brain has been too busy with parenting to do any music memorising .. so I stopped it ... but now it seems to be working again .. and a healing way for me to be productive while in bed. Yes .. I understand about co-composition and thats exactly what I want if I can relax and play it by heart, then I can enter it it.

Re: Musical stuff
Making music transports me in to another time and space. A place where I can escape the depths of depression for a while. Where sometimes I can resolve my worries without ever really understanding what those worries were about.
More rehearsal tomorrow but at least it's only 4 hours.
