  • I consider the first 20 performances just learning the piece. Think about it this way: If you think about a pianist who plays a Schubert sonata through his whole lifetime — if you listen to Rubenstein or Horowitz playing their repertoire later in their life, you understand the richness with which they play that music, and how differently they must have played it when they were younger. … I think it’s only after about 20 performances that we begin to understand what the dynamic structure of the piece is.

    Philip Glass on repetition. Philip Glass on repetition. (via nprfreshair) 

    Grateful to have read this today. It encapsulates how I feel The Madison Arm has approached our live shows. And it’s why I love to keep playing them; somehow the band is able to keep rediscovering them and unearthing previously unseen corners and aches and fires.
