Subj: [kl] Technique and Musicality

To Messrs Garrett, Leupold and Pay (rendered in alpha-order),

I am trying to make sense of the mountain of words on this topic in recent
weeks.

I understand what has been said to be as follows:

1. Technique and musicality are inter-dependent.

2. The acquisition of technique typically precedes musicality (interpreted
here as musical expression).

3. An emphasis on technique typically gives way to an emphasis on musicality
as one proceeds in the learning/performance process.

[This third point may be understood as much in terms of the raw beginner, as
in the case of the skilled professional coming to grips with a new work.]

And:

4. The disagreement between the parties is one of degree, rather than a
conceptual gulf.

Have I misunderstood?

Your clarification(s) would be much appreciated.

Michael O'Neile
