I played at some friends' wedding the weekend before last (these friends) -- and was asked to play Träumerei by Robert Schumann, a lyrical, reflective piece of music.
I had a recording of Joshua Bell (the violinist in the video above) playing the piece, and I listened and listened to him playing it, and even played along as practice.
But, Joshua Bell I am not! I don't have nearly the skills that he does, mostly because I don't practice nearly as often as he does, and my fingers don't move the way I want them to all the time, because of my ulnar nerve damage. Luckily, my friends were pleased with my performance (they got what they paid for and then some!).
I really like what Joshua Bell does with the piece though. I think the flow of his interpretation is perfect.
