I have long thought that to achieve an "effortless fluency" is more impressive than mere speed. I very clearly remember a quite famouse conductor forcing a flautist to play Bach's Badinage at a breakneck speed, which she could with amazing technical wizzardry, but it lacked musicality compared with her performance at a slower tempo. He became visibly angry when I queried his tempo! In fact "effortless fluency" often creates the impression of speed as the music unfolds, but more importantly it often reveals the work of art hidden in the notes. Do keep up your quest and I look foreward to finding you on the path less trod.John Lancasternoreply@blogger.com
