Ah, maybe you can answer a question I've never been sure about.
Are you and Ritenuto actually different? Have you ever been seen in the same room together? The music world needs to know.
Welcome!
Sure they
are actually different, are not they? I thought it was
rallentando and
ritardando that were almost identical. But I'm just an idiot composer who only uses
rall in the course of my day-to-day dottings. Besides the new member here is
rallentendo. Which is presumably a gradually slowing down Nintendo. Which would be useful. Maybe I'd finally be able to make it to the end of World 8 of Super Mario Bros 3 (my failure to accomplish this feat being one the few signal failures of my formative years, and probably the root of any chronically low self-esteem that ensued).
*Ahem*
On topic:
A very warm welcome, Rall! I look forward to getting to know you!
