Excellent explanation, clearly stated!  As always.  When you have time would you talk about Opera, the rehearsals and the performance.  Who is in charge?  We know a conductor directs the orchestra, but is any direction given to the singers during the performance?  And if so, who does it?  Who is responsible for keeping it all together?

Thanks

Cheers

THE BIG 3

Pablo / OJC    1975 / 1994

Notes: "A sense of time is perhaps the most important weapon in the Jazz soloist's armoury, for it is something purely instinctive, which means that those without it can never hope to acquire it." 

Goes on to talk about the different approaches to time taken by Jackson and Pass.

Notes: "This CD therefore brings together two of the greatest concertos for violin and orchestra in the entire repertory of Western music."

Regarding tone vs. intonation -- as frogman sez....The most lucid analysis I've come across, too.
