I completely agree! One of my favorite quotes of all time is Beethoven’s:
“To play a wrong note is insignificant
To play without passion is inexcusable”

I do talk to my harp,
After all, he is made of wood and since it used to be part of a tree, I’d like to imagine that his energy carried on into his new “life” as a harp. I feel like all my thoughts drift away when I play and none of my other instruments soothe me like him. He and I make a great team. I also greet him every time I enter the room he’s in. I don’t look at my harp as a mere material possession as it does require constant attention and dedication. I appreciate the music I’m inspired to write and play and at the end of the day, inanimate or not, I love my harp.
