“…TO THE DISCRETION OF THE PERFORMERâ€Â
Performance practice workshop
A musician will move others only if he himself is moved: it is essential that he should experience all the states of mind that he wishes to rouse in the listeners, for in that manner he will make them understand his feelings and make them participate in his emotionsÂ. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, C. 1773.
