Mr. Russianoff--may you rest in peace, that last post was for you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QP9HXSFOfk

Press him on ligature talk--Sarah--no offense intended by your question--and he'd make you play something from an etude book at 120--which you'd (anyone would) screw up--whereafter he'd ask you what the heck role your ligature played in you not getting that right (or getting that right if you did play it flawlessly.)

You'd then get a lecture about how whether you thought it was Stanley's [Drucker] ligature that made him play that passage right, followed by his telling you, in a reassuring way, that if something was important for you to know, that he'd tell it to you, and that what was important was the repetition of the exercises he gave you, with the metronome on, and you playing to it.

Kal Opperman, if pressing him on this debate, I suspect would have simply said, "get out."

....nothing but admiration meant for either of these great teachers.
