wrt = with respect to

And the reason you can get away with the wrong notes in jazz is that nobody really knows what you were trying to do anyway, except you. Which makes it a lot easier to act nonchalant than if you hit a prominent wrong note (assume it's not a actual SQUEAK) during a classical moment that every 7th grader taking clarinet lessons recognizes as a flub.

On the other hand, there was a whole thread here about faking it, with the admission that not everything classical always gets played exactly as written, and not just because somebody takes liberties, but because they have no other choice. And they act like all is OK... what else are they supposed to do? Ah, the emperor is not always fully dressed.
