Yes, I would agree. The comparison between what you're trying to express and
how it actually comes out can be a bit painful times. The light within,
leading. Pressure within, too, it seems sometimes.

Reminds me of hearing once that the great violinist, David Oistrakh, having
given a splendid concert in New Zealand, was found after the applause had
finally subsided, in his back-stage room, working away at some musical
passage in a work he had just played, trying to make it better.

Sometimes I think you ask for all the trouble you get on this list. Most
times, actually.
