Into the Void

This may or may not help, Barbara, but I remember watching this program on television a long time ago. It could have been a CBS Sunday Morning or something on PBS. In any case, the part that stays with me is an interview with a concert pianist. He talked about how his career was in two parts. He started out as a prodigy, if I remember correctly, so the first part of his career was like a rocket. After a while it stalled, and he had to do the hard work of relearning how to play the piano. He had to go deeply into his own personal process and also the mechanics of playing, whereas the first part was in many ways automatic and intuitive. I remember how inspiring and matter-of-fact it was the way he put it.
