not perfection, but

I performed that duet yesterday afternoon.   It was ok.  I give myself a B+.  Most importantly, it was music -- my duet partner and I echoed each other's phrases, and there was delicate feeling and elasticity in the right sections.  It was rousing in other right sections.  I didn't ever lose it (and neither did she).  I did lose one hand for a few measures (not literally, you understand), and played a few notes wrong here and there, but feedback was that it was fun to listen to.   Guess I'll trust the feedback.

It's hard to not be perfect.  Not that I ever am, but that doesn't make it any easier.  Hey, at least I delivered, on time, if  with some bugs. :-)
