Awareness of your own playing?

[Bob]

After I get into practicing a piece, I think I hear differently.  I think I hear a lot more in detail, if that makes sense. 

How can I get my hearing/awareness back out to hear as the listener would?

I can think of simply dropping the piece for awhile.  Then would get rid of the listening habits I pick up while practicing.  Or retrain my ears to focus on what the listener would most likely focus on.

Any more ideas?

Why do you want to hear in less detail.  IMO the biggest difference between a good musician and bad musician is in what he/she can hear in a performance.

Of course. When I practice my piano pieces I know how the notes should sound. That is very important or else you will practice in accordance to how well you hear it and make mistakes. I think what you mean by how an audience hears it is the overall impression. Of course the audience isn't going to hear every note or be aware of the individual notes. You of course will, otherwise you don't know the piece very well. . When I practice I know every note and when I hear myself play I focus on the music, but still know if I missed a note or gave it a weak sound. Hope this helps.
