Casual Playing

This item is not in the library — it is a part of: C. Bergstrøm-Nielsen, Intuitive Music: A Mini Handbook.

(from Eckhard Weymann)

Play casually along, without looking for anything in particular, but be open for what might happen unexpectedly; and then follow that up with determination! (Expect the unexpected.) The trick here is not to find too quickly, but to prolong this first moment of openness, of not knowing, this state of suspense „preceding the creation of the world", not to start „tinkering around" here, but to wait in an active state of mind, playing, until something really unexpected occurs, something convincing and compelling.
