Interpretations



It really irks me when I get faced with 2 absolutely contradicting dilemmas. A soloist who refuses to take note of her accompaniments and a conductor who doesnt function as a gel between the soloist and the rest of the ensemble.

On one hand, i get dissed by the soloists for keeping strict tempi instead of pandering to their highly erratic sense of pulse and structure, On the other, i get dissed by the conductor for not having a steady pulse which obviously i cannot if i were to switch tempos according to the soloists whim, or, inability to play up to speed.

Seriously disgusting.
