Tony had some great comments on Copland, on the "to swing or not". The
swing I wrote about is a very light nuance, not the 66 2/3 33 1/3 swing in
traditional "swing". This swing is more like 52 - 48% . Compared to say
Mozart - it's swing. Compared to standard swing jazz it is not. Listen to
Shifrin's recording - that is how, and what I wrote of, and is the same as
Michele Z. , and Roger S. spoke about - and it was not in a lesson
situation , it was friends discussing interpretation for the 1993 Belguim
ICA competition - I was coaching one of the Finalists, and they were the
ones who brought up that area.
