I, too, am looking for answers to this problem. Even with only family members
in the room I
sometimes become so occupied with which key I am to hit next, and whether I am
going to
manage..., even if I know the section well and by heart. Strange enough,
sometimes this
anxiety is not there; but I can't find out what causes it, much less how to
control it.
