Alone in a room, the target is entered differently than when there is an audience present even just one person and the experience changes. Something about the energy of others, even quiet sounds are loudly heard by the person focussed on listening to their own playing or else something about the awareness of the person generating the work. The situation is altered and/ or there often is a distraction to please or not offend. Can baking soda and vinegar be mixed without the usual result? Sometimes it is the surest way to be disappointed, whether real or imagined. Or is it as good as being a knight agreeing to try killing a dragon?
