Maybe they have always played for their own sake, not the audience’s. If you are fortunate to have experienced the intoxication of playing an instrument while young, you are more likely to become an “addict” forever. A listener can sometimes achieve the same feeling, but the sensation while making music is stronger. From the ecstatic childhood feeling of joy, you slowly develop a change in consciousness. The two most basic states of consciousness are awake and asleep – but music can take you to a higher level. Where the word stops, music begins. Just as a hypnotist can take a person into a trance with the click of a hand, a sensitive musician can take him or herself to a higher level by striking one or two chords.
