A couple of years ago, I was playing the Hummel with orchestra and in the second movement, I started to shake like I never have before. It had nothing to do with the job at hand, so I kept breathing very deeply and got through without any train wrecks. I went to the doctor the next day and she put me on a bicycle with electrodes all over me. Blood pressure shot up to 215/150. We now had the villain. I eat less sodium now and take a little pill every day to keep the blood pressure down. No more shaking. Make sure your problem is not organic. Eating habits and stress could ruin a career or even your life.
