Hi Eleanor! Of course I remember you! Thank You so much for reading my post. I really appreciate your nice feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed my thoughts! I had such a wonderful time working with the NNO and meeting you! My family and I are hoping to plan a trip back to the area in late spring/early summer, so I will be in touch with you! I would love to see you again! I hope you have been well, and thanks again for the nice message!

Thank you. I also have practiced playing only the beat (or identifying and isolating each inner voice as in a Bach 3 part invention) and it helps so much. Your tips on performance preparation are also wise. I enjoyed reading this very much. Please let me know when you’re back in the area!
I definitely agree that telling and communicating the piece’s story to your audience is the major end goal of music.
