But do you really think that this is good generalization?
Since I'm involved in the Indian classical music community, I immediately thought of many masters who hardly perform.
On one hand there is Ustad Zakir Hussain who performs in about 180 concerts every year. His music goes from deeply mathematical to completely free form. I don't think there's any other musician who can wander comfortably across so many genres.
And on the other hand, there is Vidushi Kishori Amonkar who hardly performed. But in my opinion, her understanding of ragas is unparalleled. She can very easily take her audience to another level with her music. But she used to perform in only ~20 concerts a year.
Maybe this is unique to the Indian classical music world.
I think I'm making the mistake of measuring quantity in terms of number of performances. Maybe quantity should be measured in terms of riyaz hours. :)
"Actions are deterministic, while success is probabilistic" Loved this line. Thank you.
Please consider making a series of posts about how lessons from Gita are still relevant in the modern world!
Does the popular advice "hell yeah or no" (reducing the quantity and range of things one does) goes against this?
Loved this article. Thanks! :)
