Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.
Robert Levin soloed a number of times back when I was playing in Midsummer Mozart Festival orchestra. It was always so much fun to hear him play his cadenzas; we never knew what we'd hear! :-)
Thanks so much for posting this. I hadn't seen it before and it led me to the other clips from the Derek Bailey "On the Edge" documentary. Terrfic stuff!
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, and as a teacher. I have been keeping this space in the blogosphere alive with assumptions about music (and assorted other things) since 2005.
