RE: metronomes

Metronome is very convenient tool to speed up but for other purposes I dislike to use one. If we have superb technical fluency(I do not have) already it will not do anything. Or rather too much dependence on them might jeopadize our sense of rythm we naturally have and make our playing mechanical or monotonous. Especially the sense of free and minute agogics some of the best artists have will not coume up. I doubt Moyse or Cahuzac themselves used metronomes. Maybe it was invented for also-runs players without rythmic sense to catch up the betters in 17th(?) century.
