copland concerto interpretation Hi list, I am thinking about doin the
copland concerto for a competition coming up, and i have a question. After
the tempo picks up after the Marcatissimo section, there is a a section
marked "humorously". I recently bought a recording of richard stoltzman
playing this concerto, and he swings the eighth notes in this section. I
know Stoltzman interprets things pretty loosely, but i am curious as to how
you people feel about swinging the eights in this part. I think that part
of the piece is rather hokey, and swingin the eights really seems to add
some life to it. I am just wondering what you people would say, if you were
the judge. Thanks Andy Brown

Swing it Andy - but don't over do it. It should have a loose relaxed feel,
but not lazy. Michele Zukovsky, and Roger Salander (American playing
Principal Clarinet Vienna) both teach it that way too.
