"John, I'm curious why you opted for the C natural in those measures? Assuming your copy had printed Cbs, was it an "integrity" thing from picking-up on/hearing the Goodman recording or did you feel the Cs were structurally a better choice? v/r Ken"
Hi Ken:
I was told shortly before the recording session, that Benny was called by Copland to do the movie.
Benny backed out at the last moment, so I figured I better get the "Benny thing" down before I went in to do my thing. I listened to his recording to try to get into his head about the Concerto.
So, the "C" just seemed right after all those listenings.
The notes on the page don't matter as much as what you feel at the time. Benny liked the note, and Copland liked what I did, so I guessed right.
I'm going to let it stand...until next time.
JJM
