Vacation is definitely over as I prepare to visit the Dorian Sono Luminus studios in Virginia to make a promotional music video for my upcoming Quincy Porter Viola Works recording. Although I know this music quite well having studied and recorded it over the past two years, I find myself feeling oddly restricted. I am used to giving myself liberties during a performance of changing bowing and fingerings from time to time, so I am not a stickler when it comes to such things. However, when trying to match a recording, I find my liberties at odds with trying to match what I hear with what I'm doing. It feels eerily like my childhood Suzuki group classes where I didn't want to be the one doing it "wrong," but I always seemed to be on the opposite bowing as everyone else.
