(no subject)
Tone:
"Nice tone", "high register a little shrill, low and midrange is good"
Rhythm:
"Good rhythm", "be careful not to rush, especially in hard parts"
Technique:
"Good articulation", "keep breath coming though the entire phrase", "fast finger work occasionally sloppy"
Interpretation:
"I would encourage him to *perform* more, to make more contrast", "phrases to be shaped the same throughout, and dynamics are a bit the same all the time", "each phrase is clear and well shaped", "bigger dynamic contrasts would be welcome"
Stage presence:
"Good stage presence", "poised"
Other: "Overall very musical"
These are my comments on the jury I passed. How embarrassing...THIS is what my musical career of ten years has amounted to? "nice..good...good...good"
I've worked for ten years and all I am is GOOD? I don't want to be fucking good, I don't want to be fleetingly pleasant, I don't want to be mediocre!
SHIT.
