About five years ago I started writing these early 20th century modern-style piano pieces. (As far as solo piano goes, those are the pieces I always enjoyed playing/listening to the most - the pieces that had the most emotional resonance).
I'm finally starting to think about playing them in front of an audience. My own silly fears shouldn't stop me from doing what I want to creatively, right? Right.
That said, I'm going to be playing Philly on 6/24 and Baltimore/DC on 6/25. The show in Philly is 100% booked; the Baltimore/DC one is like 80%. I have some Chicago possibilities, but none of them are certain either. It'd mean a lot to see some friendly faces in the audience.
It feels pretty great to get up off my metaphorical, musical ass, though.
