   My piano teacher always told me to pause before playing a piece, just for a moment, and hear it—*feel* it—before I played the first note.

   In that moment, I felt suspended in time, as though nothing existed but me and the music I was about to bring into the world. It didn't matter if there was a judge there or an audience or whatever. For a moment I was alone.

   That's magic.
