 rubato-a lost art?
Author: ruben

Yehudi Menuhin, in one of his writings, referred to rubato as : "the lost art of rubato". By this he meant that musicians were adopting stiffer, steadier tempi. It is true that if we listen to recordings made in the 20s and 30s, we find there is an excessive, Romantic use of rubato. Have we gone to the other extreme? Personally, I find that when I memorize a piece, a subtle rubato instils itself naturally. Classical musicians don't usually play chamber music by memory, but this is good to use as an exercise. When you read a text aloud, you will gnerally sound more wooden than when you recite one by heart.
