I used to do piano and I know exactly what you're talking about when you say ""I'm doing well." Those are the most dangerous thoughts you can have when you're performing, because as soon as you think that, you're fucked." that is what got me in every single competition/recital. I'd start out fine and then start thinking 'hey i'm not fucking this up!' and then get too comfortable or something. i've gotten to the point where I am almost through a piece and have to stop, breathe and start all over again...in front of a crowd. it sucks.
yeah that guy sounded like an asshole, but don't worry about it too much...it's all over with now.
yeah, that "i'm doing well" has happened to me. I've never played at a competition, it sounds really stressful. Since you've worked so hard on these pieces, maybe you could record them. Then, you'd have a record of yourself playing them perfectly, and still feel all right after moving on to other things.
