I remember watching a master pianist speak about his work. He spoke about the pursuit of perfection as not something practical, but, rather, the pursuit of a perfect moment in which the artful melody touched the heart. It was in this refined pursuit, this focal point, that he applied himself to connect with the audience.
I think there is much wisdom in that.
