Third last lesson of the year today. Arthur and I spoke at length about practice procrastination (mine). The Brahm's went poorly. The other pieces were ok and there are just three more pages of the Ballade No. 4 to learn. Arthur says when he was in London for an international competition as a young man, he practiced 10 hours a day for two weeks. I think my problem is that I subconsciously fear that whatever I am about to learn will prove impossible. I know all the practice tricks. I just need to put them into action.
