Cresting an extended improvisation (longer than one note, anyway!), listening inside yourself for the first note, then the next and the next.

On August 30, 2006, pianist Stephanie Gurga and I did a faculty recital at DePauw University called "The Romantic Cello." As an experiment in bringing in and engaging a wider audience, we wore jeans and exempted everyone from the usual rules of concert etiquette. You can read more on my website and in a story on the DePauw Website, including a video clip. What did the audience think? Read the comments to my morning-after post.
And here are all the posts I wrote on the concert, in order of appearance:
life, the cello, and everything

Bravissimo, Eric! What a pleasure not only to listen to you play, but to be inspired TO play. I've played Classical for years and never believed I could (or "should") improvise. It made me very nervous as I tried it (should I be doing this? Will I make a "mistake"? Can anyone hear me?), but I did it! It just flowed and the feelings inside just opened up. Wow. When you said it is the best therapy you've ever had, I can see and feel why. Thank you for sharing.
