Classical Guitar Review

Classical Guitar — The online resource for classical guitarists The online resource for classical guitarists I have to admit, I’m one of those self-professed perfectionists. I like things to be done perfectly and I demand as much from myself. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that in music, striving for perfection is only half of our work. The other half is to know when to let go and let our fingers and feelings to make music. In the practice room, when we are trying to prepare a piece of music for a performance or a recording, we need to strive for perfection. We need to decide what is “perfection” to us and we need to learn how to achieve it. Is it playing every single note cleanly and with beautiful sound? Is it articulating everything the right way, playing with correct dynamics, the correct rhythm, the right amount of vibrato? In the practice room, we have to do all of the above and more. If we don’t strive for perfection in the practice room, then what exactly are we trying to accomplish when we practice? However, if perfection of mechanical execution is the end in and of itself, we are bound to end up with an emotionless and sterile performance, where everything is “correct” and “perfect” but doesn’t arouse any feelings in the listener.
