\u201cThe process is the most beautiful part.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Quincy Jones<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In 2010, the Serbian artist Marina Abramovic, brought her show \u201cThe Artist is Present<\/a><\/em>\u201d to MOMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this performance piece, she sat at a small table in the middle of an otherwise empty room. People could enter and sit across from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No words were spoken. She simply sat and met eyes with the person. She stayed completely present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People broke down. They cried. They became agitated. They had all sorts of reactions. And throughout, Abramovic sat quiet and present, allowing them their reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of this piece was in realtime. The process was the art. There was no goal, no intended response. The effect was to recognize that we are human<\/a>, together with other humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, in musical performance<\/a>, the human element is part of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a player is completely present and engaged with the music, we see it. We hear it. We feel it. We recognize that their thinking mind has quieted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, watching a musician can be similar to sitting across from Marina Abramovic. The world strips away and we are left psychologically naked, open to the current experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as players, at any level, we can apply this level of attention and engagement in every practice<\/a>. Indeed, this becomes a practice of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if we do not play every note as intended, even if we flub or falter<\/a>, we can remain with and in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can embrace the means, and let the end be what it will. Instead of trying to play a complete piece, we can share a process. Each movement, each note a new offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
