 @schmudde Conductors mostly do worse, which is to leave the details to the orchestra, which grew up with what it grew up with. I would love to listen to a recording of a rehearsal where a conductor takes issue with the orchestra’s changes to the phrasing or dynamics. Never heard of such a thing. 2 comments
@J12t I assume that some conductors are known to be more rigid in interpretation. But I can’t name any. It was always funny to me that Glenn Gould was such a heretic sensation. Everyone has been massaging the notes forever. And besides, Bach didn’t know a keyed instrument with performative dynamics. |

Let’s take this piece I’m listening to. It says, for four bars, ff. Ok. Then, it says, for four bars, pp. Ok. Then, again, ff.
What would you expect?
f throughout ain’t it.
