Three different me's

I thought I might look at the music I play, and how I relate to it. The top picture shows a young man playing the harpsichord. Contrary to popular belief I was also young once!!! I love harpsichord music with all its tables of ornaments, nuances, and expressive techniques. Yes the harpsichord is a beautifully expressive instrument. Its repertoire was written at a time when emotional content was not part of the style. For me it is wonderfully meditative to play it.  I play this music with complete emotional detachment, and focus on making each phrase expressive and beautiful, whilst balancing all this with the architecture of the piece as a whole.
The picture in the middle shows a good old cockney knees-up in a pub. I love playing these songs because they are very dear to the people who enjoy singing them. At my local pub I sit in the corner facing the wall, so that I won't get freaked-out by the people around me. I look sideways fairly frequently so that I can interact with the singers. I enjoy the wonderful atmosphere, and the enjoyment felt by the singers is a source of joy to me. In the pub, people now ask me to play so that they can sing. One lady with a beautiful voice asked me yesterday if she can sing with me. Of course! My friend who has aspergers wants to play the ukelele at the same time. Yes please! I love these sing-songs. It's lovely to see all the pleasure they bring, and it's such a great shame that this sort of communal singing has almost died out. I will do my bit to ensure that it doesn't die out completely, not just yet at any rate.
The picture at the bottom represents romantic piano music. The lady is Clara Wieck, the sister of Robert Schumann. Schumann is one of my favourite composers. The poor man had terrible mental health problems, and I wonder if his depression was aspergers-related. I feel a complete emotional involvement with his music and completely throw myself at it. Emotionally this can be quite draining. There can be undertones and shapes in his music that I empathise with; they remind me very much of my own thought processes and moods.
When I perform, I feel in a way as if I am these three different musicians. I wonder if I can approach all three styles from the same mental starting point, or indeed, whether I should. I have been toying with this idea in the following way: when I am better off, I might get or hire some eighteenth-century style togs for playing at the local historical building, a cloth cap for playing at the pub, and a frock coat for playing Schumann. O blimey, I hope I'm not turning into a skitsofreeniac.
