Acpects of Resilience in Organ Performance

The term “resilience” is also encountered more and more often in the field of musical art. In this paper, we explore the connection between resilience and the performing arts, specifically focused on organ playing. The survey concerns active, professional performers, who have to overcome not only the stress of public performance but also other stressful moments in their artistic activity. In the questionnaire and the subsequent discussion, we seek answers to the following questions: What are the most frequent stressful moments in organ playing? What problems do organists encounter in their concert activities? Finally, what helps organists to eliminate crisis situations in concert performances?
