Playing with ease
Though all good playing is a process of tension and release, it can only be "automatic" with constant awareness.
The cellist is constantly adjusting in real time to: what is felt and demanded physically, one's evolving emotion, and to the artistic/musical voice. To succeed in doing this takes awareness and a certain kind of detachment. The detachment paradoxically brings about better mind-body unity, and this is well known in Zen. We are constantly dealing with local events within longer term events when playing. We are always moving. In order to be free in that movement, we need to understand what physical balance, while in motion, is. Suzanne has coached all levels of players with tension issues. Young players and beginners are fortunate to recieve this training early.
