Something I always wanted to know, Bellini! I've listened to quite a bit of classical and opera music ...is there improvisation in an established piece like say ...Debussy's Claire de Lune ?or even Glen Gould's Golberg Variations by Bach?...I can't tell the difference !:confused:
Bellini48 Wrote:Interpretation regards expert classical instrumentalists, I believe. You can't play Mozart like you play Chopin, for example. There are subtle differences in chromatics, touch, timing, legato, staccato, portato. Portato for J.S.Bach, but staccato for Scarlatti. For those who want to be refined interpreters of the great masterpieces of the past. 'Cause you just can't play Debussy in anyway you like, whether you put heart in it or not.
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
