He has the music open and apparently hovering before him, waiting to turn its own pages for him, and he's running through a few combinations to limber up his fingers. It sounds as though it's supposed to be something like this, but he's not familiar enough with the music or capable enough in both hands to pull it off. ...It's also probably way to complex for his level of expertise. He has practiced with the gauntlet off before which seems to help, but not today, not in front of other people. His right, gloved hand does seem to be slower and more clumsy than the other, and he is constantly restarting to try and correct the error.]
