Exhausted Rhomboids


Graphite. A4.

It is astonishing how violin practice works the right set of rhomboids!

I have no idea how I ended up learning differential calculus before anatomy.

I PLAY MY VIOLIN

A6. Pen & Water.

I've been practicing my violin for the past 25 years and only now have I realised the following...

I PLAY MY VIOLIN. It's not my technique, nor my brothers, parents, teachers or friends. It is me. It is my sound. I may not be a master, but I can choose what I do with it.

It seems there is a certain comfort in noticing that the work of art is not just the composition, or the wooden violin, nor the sound that is produced, but also the human form and the way it goes about such a thing. It is fascinating, complex, and yet easy and unbelievably common.

Pen. A3.

Learning a technique or a theory helps. But to go beyond the 'common' it may be required to unlearn in order to find the unknown.
