"Artistic temperament"
Hi!
My new blog post discusses "diva behavior" and "artistic temperament." Same thing?
Please read and comment!
Many thanks.

I think playing any instrument can really bring out your emotions... which is a good thing. Even frustration is good sometimes. So I'd call that "artistic temperament" ...... but maybe "diva behavior" is when you take it a little too far. =)
PS. I like that vintage post card!

Hi Catherine,
Thanks for your comments! I agree.
"Diva behavior" can be useful at times ~ I'd say it's about the same as a respectable New York hissy fit. However, that doesn't work where I live now.
The postcard is via Flickr, of a family of opera singers. Specifically: The Carandini ladies, one of Australia's first opera performing families, ca. 1875.
Thanks again,
Gretchen
