Nope. I’m starting to think that it’s just live performance. I can know every note in my head and still have some slight hesitation from nerves that will screw something up.
I think repeat performances of a piece help, to get more comfortable with it on stage. Lupu tried out programs in country UK before heading to larger European venues.
Nerves suck. I never got over it. I think it’s from caring too much, because the best performance I ever gave was my left hand only graduation sheeyat, where I really did not give a fuck.
