• That's why I like listening to Schubert while I'm driving. Like I said, it's because all his performances are imperfect.

But listening to the D major, I can feel the limits of what humans are capable of - that a certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect. And personally I find that encouraging.
