"Okay," I generally didn't agree to play for others. On one hand, I didn't like showcasing my piano skills, and on the other hand, I always considered playing the piano to be a very personal activity. Apart from competitions and formal performances with a sufficiently large audience, where I could convince myself that their attention wasn't entirely focused on me, allowing me to construct my own musical world, playing for a single individual was an entirely different matter. Except for Teacher Dan and my mother, who had separately heard me play, no one else had. This was a personal rule I had established at a very young age. However, this time, I spontaneously agreed.
