I don't get it----how--can artists play very complex pieces of music--- without sheet music?
Arias are a little different--one word leads to another, plus even the greats like Andrea Bocelli use telepromptersOH, that was bad

As a musician, and an orchestra participant (primarily trumpet, bone, F horn) I think that, once you learn a complex piece, it stays with you. I regularly dream I'm still playing the same pieces I learned in high school. West Side Story is probably my favorite orchestral piece.

I never got close to it, but my observation is that true musicians do not play mechanically (as I did), but are one with their instrument and the music. Music flows from real musicians and transcends the thought process. I imagine thinking about what is coming from your instrument merely gets in the way.

I think I just had this lesson driven home!
As I was working this came on, forcing me to stop and pay attention. As I listened I found myself singing (in my mind) the words to this piece. I suspect that if I did play an instrument I could reverse the process and allow the music to flow out of the lyrics. I would assume that for a professional musician there is the same kind of continuity where no lyrics are involved.

I’m sure The Piano Guys have been asked all the time why their name when one always plays the cello, but I have never heard an answer.
