Back to Normal
Well I've finished the other kind of work (being an accompanist) for the moment - it's back to normal now. That's good! I don't like playing things I haven't completely learned (and completely learning something takes a long time; much longer than is available under those circumstances) so I will get on with completely learning things!
You get some funny responses sometimes from performances. These run from almost complete silence (I'm talking about meeting people afterwards; in the performance the audience always claps at least!) to the weeping and adulation of the Russians (I've never experienced that but I understand it is a real phenomenon). So you can't make any judgements based on that. Unfortunately it's hard to know exactly how one is playing. But some sense of success or failure must exist so that's what we have to go on. I guess!
Now what shall I do next?
