Most Recent Concert

Email to Gil Sullivan

Hi Gil,

Listening to my concert one of the things that comes out is the
need to make extraordinary contrast in atmosphere between the
phrases. You have emphasized this but there it is *always*
possible to do more of this, and even when you think you are
changing the colour between two passages, you can always
change it *even more*. If one becomes obsessed with this then
I think it will drive the most inspiring concert regardless of what
else happens.

It is just starting to click that sound really can have the same
striking contrasts as a painter’s palette and that we need to
perform with clear, striking colours and sudden changes, sharp
edges between the colours.

Warm regards
Julian
