For the first time, playing Motorhythmia felt easy on the carillon. My muscles didn't tire or stiffen up, and at no time did I feel as if I was wrestling with the piece. I just tapped it off the batons and pedals.
Never in my thirteen years of studying music have I experienced a year in which the learning stages were so prominent. So this is what it's like to make music your life.
Pedagogical quote from Geert about playing in St.-Romboutstoren: "This carillon is a monster. You have to play it like a monster."

The carillonneur is the monster! You know, the Hunchback of Notre-Dame and all that.
