I think you meant to say this:
I most certainly did not! I stand corrected. |

It's that time in the evening (or even night) when I really should go to sleep but something seems to be preventing me. It could be the espresso that I had rather late in the day or simply the fact that I've been up since 7:30 and walked 9 miles during the day. I am possibly too tired to summon up the energy to walk to my bed.
Well, as my mamma would say (according to the slurs of inky), stop whining about it and go to bed.
But maybe I should do my lunch first...

Thanks for the welcome back, everyone! I had a coffee with my dinner tonight, idiot that I am. Feeling sleepy nonetheless, so I may attempt to go to bed. I have an awful dread I'll just lie there, tired but awake - but it's worth a try to get back on GMT properly.
(I suppose this should be on the good-night thread. So to stay on waffle topic, I'll share with you how perplexed I'm getting over the ending to winter in the Seasons, which of course is the ending of the whole 4-concerto marathon. Seeing as the last bit is about whipping, battling winds, it feels silly to finish with a grinding ritardando - but racing through to the last note seems incredibly flippant as an ending to the whole cycle. I can't stand the horrible mannerism of a big gap between the penultimate and last notes, either. I think it needs something, but I can't figure it out yet.)
(Maybe I should have posted this in the snatch competition thread to gain some more negative points? Or perhaps I'll go back to random guesses instead.)

Strina, this is a bit unconventional ,but how about an enigmatic diminuendo, and/or echo effect for the last phrase? (non or minimal rit)

Or even just go straight through as written and to hell with our inherited interpretation of having to finish off the series...
It is a hard one. How about a small accel and cresc, and just end super fast?

Excellent idea, except I'm already doing something like that somewhere else. I'll think further about it, though. Or even just go straight through as written and to hell with our inherited interpretation of having to finish off the series... I heartily second this notion, for what it's worth. Wow, play the notes as written, eliminating the accumulated baggage of decades of hearing and imitating how others do it? You'd could start a whole new interpretive philosophy with notions like that - oh wait... Thanks for reminding me what I'm meant to be doing in the first place, chaps!  |

Hi strina,
Sorry if I've missed you saying so elsewhere, but are you preparing this for a particular performance? (in other words: Please miss, can I come?)

Swiz! They're only bringing the other two productions to Scotland.

Why is it so hard to get out of bed on a Saturday morning? I have things to do! Why don't I understand this?

I hardly ever find it hard to get out of bed. I want my breakfast! I find it difficult to stay up in the evenings though.
