... only I forgot to add 'rubato' or 'Freely' there.
The problem I've had when playing solos is some conductors/directors/instructors especially from a military background don't like how I want to have more freedom to pull things about instead of playing things exactly as written, so that has caused a fair bit of conflict with them, especially if they want to take things at a fair lick when all I want to do is sit back on the tempo to have more time to do things that aren't written. It's all very well to play what's on the page, but it's also something to play what's not there - anyone can play the notes, but not everyone can play what's not written. Maybe I'm a bit too free thinking than some people can deal with.
