Phrasing: a HAIR?

Author: Bob Phillips
Date: 2005-04-28 14:26

Working with my chamber group, the pianist suggested to the violist that we "take a hair there." The violist agreed, and we went on to the next passage.

Yes, I was too embarrassed to stop and ask what they meant by "a hair."

Can one of you generous folks explain this term to me?

thanks

Slightly slow down the tempo at that spot.

Drop down the tempo "a hair"

Not to be confused by Speed up the tempo by a "hare".

hair means little, tad, tiny bit, smidgen, wee bit, itty bit, a fraction, sweet little midget (my favorite kind of pickles) etc. lol. It's nice to list verbs.

He could mean they break into a Cowsills' song there.
