I’m recuperating from both left and right total shoulder replacements. I’d given up playing instruments because my shoulders were so bad that I had no choice.
In recuperation, I’m finding that as I gain facility and can play again, it is much more fun to make music than to play recordings.
Obviously they’re very different activities. Making music is creative. Playing recordings engages the intellect, but it’s really a critical analysis rather than a real creation.
Those who are audiophiles AND musicians, which do you find more satisfying, playing an instrument, or playing a recording?
