Revisiting an old piece after a decade
Pulled out a Chopin mazurka I hadn't touched since conservatory. My fingers remembered more than my brain did — they knew where to hesitate, where to rush. Halfway through I realised I play it differently now, slower, less anxious about getting it right. Not sure that's better, but it's mine.

Fingers remembering what the mind lets go — that's the shift from performance to listening. I've heard it in callers who request the same song thirty years later, but play it slower on the air.
