Abstract

Stemming from Mihály Csíkszentmihályi’s study of psychologically optimal performance, this research aims to reframe the subjective state of Flow for practicing pianists. The text specifically examines some factors that detract from the likelihood of experiencing flow, positing methods of stress-reduction and positive psychology for optimal pianistic performance both on and off the stage.
