Invariably when I feel really good and energetic (and at my age, that's getting to be more rare), I play relatively well; conversely, when I am even the least bit tired, I just don't produce good sound, miss notes, squeak, and you name it.
Most of you older clarinetists, I would bet, know what I mean. So I have learned if I am going to play well with the local town band, or I'm to have a lesson, I must not exert myself too much during that day.
As we age, budgeting energy is somewhat like budgeting money, but I doubt if the younger players, with energy to burn, would have a clue.
Do you older folks who've been playing most of your lives agree with me on this? I just know it's true for me, and I would assume energy levels affect even you advanced elders...maybe not to the same degree though as for me.
