I heard Hilary Hahn last week in a small church in Skaneateles, NY. She started off the program playing JS Bachs Partita no.3 for solo violin. About a minute into her performance, I realized that I would never be as good as she was playing the violin at anything that I do. It didnt depress me, it was just a fact! Im pretty good at playing trumpet and have played it for 55 years, mandolin for about 5 or 6 and Im content with my progress. It was fun to hear someone at a level orders of magnitude better than I am!
