To build on what Olive watson says about the silences in music, or rests - The most important thing you will ever see in a piece of music is this one: that little "g.p." means "Grand Pause". in all the chaos and fervor and emotive gestures of a symphony, this is the most emotional moment - A moment where no one onstage makes a sound. telling.
Thanks you for that, I don't read music and I appreciate having that explained to me. "Grand Pause," -there are times in life I could use the ability to conjour such a thing. Thanks for watching/listening 'spoons.
If you ever want to learn to read music, let me know - i've been told i'm a pretty good teacher. I think we could all use a "grand pause" every once in a while. A pleasure as always, TNG. I keep meaning to send you a letter, but 16 page papers get in the way of a lot of things.
