My resignation as Administrator

[PJF]

I don't know why, I've just lost the desire to play piano. It's gone and it's apparently not coming back. I find the practice boring, tedious and pointless. SO much so, I've sold my piano and will be glad to never see one again.

Sorry to disappoint. Maybe I just pushed for technical perfection to the point of burnout. I've even closed my studio. I'm a CPhT, Certified pharmacy technician, now. I can't even remember why I wanted to attain such a level of skill at the piano. I look back at it and think "I had an unhealthy obsession", well the obsession is gone and so is the music, unfortunately.

I don't know what happened. One day, during practice I just "snapped", got this sense of rage, slammed down the cover and never touched the keys again. It's been a year since I've played.

I don't even listen to Classical music any more. I find it unmoving and pedantic.

As of now, I'm probably as confused as you are, but it is what it is.

I even had a brain scan to make sure I didn't have something physiologically wrong with me, all results negative.

Anyway it's been fun hanging out, but I don't fit this niche anymore. I'm too busy at work to spend much time in forums anymore, so don't be surprised if this is the last you hear from me.

Bye, Nico.

Hey Pete,

I'm very sorry to hear that you've lost the desire to play piano. On behalf of Chopin Music, I wish you the very best, and I hope you regain your love of classical music one day. Thank you for your contribution to the site.

Take care,

Nico

I was sugar-coating things.

It's really the pain I get from my back surgery that makes playing impossible. It's a most bitter pill to swallow. My life as a musician is over.

Terribly sorry to hear that, Pete... I hope music finds itself back into your life somehow.
