No fancy explications here today, no distracting verbiage, simply the goals I'm setting as I look past the end of the summer break (The Little One's school resumes in 20 days.)
1. Organ: pedal-work, practice, a repertory piece each quarter, study: working toward the AGO Service Playing Exam in 2014. This is the primary goal; time to become the professional I pretend (or feel like I pretend) to be.
2. Piano: continue developing technique and repertoire.
3. Public performances coming in 2014, 2015, 2016, & 2017, perhaps in September each year. Don't know what the rep will be, or where I'll be playing. It might be piano only, or piano and organ. Right now, it doesn't matter. The goal is to make it happen.
The reason for all this? "No More Nebbische" (Jan. 2, 2013) says it pretty well. To summarize it simply: I've fallen into a rut, and it's time to clamber out. Time for Sisyphus to take a sledge hammer to the stone, and carry the pieces bit by bit to the top of the hill. Time to focus on becoming, not just being.
