Rule #2 on this board Brycon:

"No ad hominem attacks (discuss the question/answer, not the person."

* You take dissent with statements that you subsequently admit are generalities that can't be wrong, written that way because I am citing best practices, not hard and fast rules (not because I'm avoiding being wrong) and then

* accuse me of being pedantic,

* claiming to bow out of this discussion, but then make a reemmergence to say that because you think that I've never taken an audition etc. that I can't know what's best: that I am surely inexperienced.

Russianoff, who I studied with, placed many a player in professional roles. I can attest to his (I believe smart) belief for students to know as best as possible the preferences of those at the audition table; that and get an music education degree as a backup.

Still more, to deliberately not play closer than further from the desired interpretations of a panel of judges---when known--simply defies human logic and the laws of probability.

I think that you're upset at dissenting to that which wasn't absolute, and getting called out for it, so you've tried to transfer your pedanticism on to me, and label me as inexperienced when all I've done is cite basic rules of human nature.

You seem to want debate. I'll give you a topic. Tell me Zander knows more than Sarmiento in my previously linked video.

You seem unhappy if I don't take a hard position that you can disagree with as well as unhappy when I hedge rules of thumb that are simply more wrong than right; not always right.

Please fight with and disparage ideally nobody, but at least someone other than me. Thanks.

And Larry, the issue here is not whether I'm right. There will in fact be times when my advise doesn't work, worse backfires, as I've already conceeded. Welcome to the world of best practices, not hard and fast rules.

The issue is whether this advise is likely to be more often right than wrong. I believe it is.
