 Re: Playing the music

I've played my OWN pieces at tempi wildly above or below what I intended, both intentionally and unintentionally. I've liked some, disliked others. The tempo I write down is probably the first one I thought of, or the one I hummed in my head most often. People want a tempo, so I pick one and write it down. Doesn't mean I want them to avoid exploring other options.

People know what the by-the-books version sounds like. I hardly think taking liberties with Sonata #2 damages Brahms' reputation.

Heck, I've heard some darn lousy by-the-books interpretations of Beethoven 3. Only when Fuhrtwangler takes (took) a bucketload of liberties does it really come alive.

If we want to set limits on how much can be done with music, we might as well record it once and be done with it.
