You've probably seen the inspiring viral video of Maria João Pires and the wrong Mozart concerto. But how did she pull it off, and what can her incredible accomplishment teach us? Robert Fleitz talks to performance psychology expert Noa Kageyama, who is on faculty at The Juilliard School and the Cleveland Institute of Music, to find out what might have been going through her head. They discuss how to practice, how to memorize music, the three phases of memorization, how to overcome stage fright, and the psychology of acceptance in performance.

Also including contributions from Lydia Artymiw, Tianxu An (安天旭), and Alicia de Larrocha.
