"Visual irrelevancies"........a portion of a comment a person made below one of Valentina Lisitsa's performances on YouTube.

He was telling others to not watch but rather just listen to Valentina's playing and you might then be better able to appreciate her talent.

Of course the worth of this advice would vary from person to person. I think this is often good advice when a pianist's expressions, hand movements, etc. are a distraction from the music being played.
