Today I sat in a coffee shop for two hours and rehearsed fifteen minutes of music in my head.
2 hours. 15 minutes.
Sometimes I gestured. Sometimes I made notes in my score. Sometimes I sang a line (quietly). Sometimes I did nothing outwardly but was listening to the different lines in my head, hearing the music, shaping how I wanted it to sound.
And I barely got through the 15 minutes of music in those 2 hours. I may have rushed the "Agnus Dei" of Haydn's Little Organ Mass so I could hear the entire piece in my head. I'll start at the "Sanctus" next time.
