| "Since music is about subjectivity of interpretation, not everything can be quantified like a math project. Listen and do what I do, don't ask me how long, how short, how loud, how soft, and play in tune! Use your talent and ears to determine what is required. Show me you understand the concept of style and the ability to change if need be."
WOW! I like that comment a lot! That one goes on my list of quotes to remember. It also summarizes a concept that was largely missed at one point during my Army Band days. During section rehearsal, we used to get into these lengthy discussions about how long or short or how much to crescendo or decrescendo, and I always thought that we would be better off to simply play in the proper style and key in to the lead.
