I find that time off playing usually does me good. The unconscious keeps on churning away about musical issues and upon resumption of playing seems to produce good ideas and previous blocks in thought have disappeared. Mind you, I play 95% improvisation. Those with a big repertoire of set pieces might not respond to breaks as well, I don't know. When I have a cold I always play very well and ideas flow rapidly. I have never worked out why this should be so, but I have been that way since my teens. Last edited by Ted; 12/04/11 06:56 PM. "Mistakes are the portals of discovery." - James Joyce

So I often have a cold when I play. I still force myself to play, although obviously I don't feel at my best. Of course I have to renounce to the flute when I have a very bad cold , but I can still play the piano. I do not play very challenging pieces when I am very sick though. Music is my best friend.
