Which brings me to my questions. It might be little
bit of topic, but does someone know numbers on the
time it takes between wanting to pay a tune, playing it (e.g. on a bass) and the time it
takes until one
realizes, that the tone is played?
One thing that returns in perception psychology is that our brains
are playing tricks on us, in particular w.r.t. timing of things.
Anyway, the way a musician performs is not by 'wanting' to play
each individual note when he/she thinks it is due, but rather by
picking up a rythm (from other players or from a conductor) and
anticipating the actions required to play. And for trained or
experienced musicians a lot of the motoric activity is automatic,
and the player need to not even be aware of it.
