I am very nervous about this recital, since I am just finishing my study of these works, which are very difficult for me. Besides my thesis is about performance anxiety. Knowing about your experience and knowledge, I beg your pardon for taking your time, but it will very helpful for me if you can give some information or advice about dealing with my anxiety before and during a performance. Thank your very much for your attention, and excuse me for my English, but my native language is Spanish.
Performance anxiety is a very peculiar thing.
For some people it doesn't exist, for some it will cost a career. I believe everybody has to find the way to reduce it. What is most important is to turn the power of anxiety into a creative power and not destructive one. I believe an anxiety is a part of a great performance. There is negative kind of anxiety and a positive kind.
