Not making any mistakes in performance = impressive. Making a mistake but correcting yourself and covering it up so quickly that nobody would know unless they were literally sitting there with a score = 1000x more impressive.

Had the radio on @AllClassicalPDX, hearing a piece that sounded familiar…couldn’t place it, but was sure I’d played it. There were a couple of short cello solos and I thought, “Gorgeous!” Looked it up and it was @OregonSymphony’s recording of Barber Souvenirs. Good feeling!!! 😁
