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.

Silly thought for the day
Musicians have a great many different words for slow.
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.

Can anyone play?
dawdlissimo
lethargico
sempre ritardandino
con sluggardo

This is tardy and slightly off topic, but I once played in the pit of a Broadway show whose exit music was marked "Prestissimo Catchubussimo."
And a fine tempo marking it is!
