| Put the puzzle together...
Hi Ed,
New question for you:
In my own playing I feel that each area of technique is pretty solid. I try to maintain what I've got and feel good about it most of the time. But it also feels like each piece of my trumpet playing puzzle is formed but not quite together; like being on the verge of having everythign work together.
Hearing great players quite often, that is the quality that they have that I want. When I hear Bilger play, it's beautiful sound from the VERY beginning of the note. The attack is beautifullly proportioned to the body of the note. His sound is golden obviously. Technique is amazing. Music making is first class.
So....is this level of artistry something that just happens as the ultimate level of performance? Do we have to do anything special to make everything click together all the time?
Hope this makes sense and thanks!
Brent
