Stage Fright

Fall down as you come onstage. That’s an odd trick. Not recommended. But it saved the pianist VladimirFeltsman when he was a teenager back in Moscow. The veteran cellist MstislavRostropovich tripped him purposely to cure him of pre-performance panic,2 Mr.Feltsman said, “ All my fright was gone. I alreadyfell. What else could happen?”
Today, music schools are addressing the problem ofanxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation.There are a variety of strategies that musicians can learn to fight stagefright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky limbs, racing heart, blank mind.3
Teachers and psychologists offer wide-ranging advice,from basics like learning pieces inside out,4 to mental discipline, such asvisualizing a performance and taking steps to relax. Don’t deny that you’re jittery，they urge; some excitement is natural, even necessary for dynamicplaying. And play in public often, simply for the experience.
Psychotherapist Diane Nichols suggests somestrategies for the moments before performance, “Taketwo deep abdominal breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,’’ she says. “And not one of these ‘please don’t kill me’ smiles. Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, peopleyou would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact with them.” She doesn’t want performers to think of theaudience as a judge.
Extreme demands by mentors or parents are often atthe root of stage fright，says Dorothy Delay, awell-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what theirstudents are able to achieve.
When Lynn Harrell was 20，hebecame the principal cellist of the Cleverland Orchestra, and he sufferedextreme stage fright. “There were times when I got sonervous I was sure the audience could see my chest responding to the throbbing.It was just total panic. I came to a point where I thought,‘ If I have to go through this to play music, I think I’m going to look for another job.”5 Recovery,he said, involved developing humility-recognizing that whatever his talent, hewas fallible，and that an imperfect concert was not adisaster.6
It is not only young artists who suffer, of course.The legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz’s nerves werefamous. The great tenor Franco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,” SopranoRenata Scotto recalled.
Actually，success can makethings worse. “In the beginning of your career, whenyou’re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, andthey don’t have any expectations,” Soprano June Anderson said. “There’s less to lose. Later on, when you’re known,people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations. You have alot to lose.”
Anderson added，“I never stopbeing nervous until I’ve sung my last note.”
