I messed up an interview today. Was not my usual self when i started playing. a strange queer kind of fear and apprehension crept over me as i played in front of them.
Why? I dont know. I havent played live auditions in a while. Having trouble sleeping at night.
Was i too tired? too caught up with certain issues that i seemed to "forget" the notes?
It was not a good interview and I knew i screwed up big time. Went home to sleep over it.
Woke up and just picked up the classical to play K3(Mozart).
With the metronome plugged in my ear, i realised my whole concept of the song was wrong from the start. It should have been much much faster. (Eh stupid, open your eyes, it says allegretto)
did it in double time and felt more satisfied. Checked youtube for versions of the song and voila, I was right! I was wrong from the start.
The past advice on using the metronome all the time has come back. Thank you to my former mentor.
A sage i call him :)

Hey auditions can be like that. Sometimes nothing to do with you at all. Some good some bad days, all you can do is practise, pray and don't dwell on their decision whatever it is!
