join me in welcoming maestro Alan
Gilbert to the stage thanks thanks very
much
Kenan thanks right thanks very much for
those nice words I've been excited about
this residency for a long time and
hearing in an encapsulated form the
range of activities that are about to
happen this weekend has made me even
more chuffed it's awesome to be here
to be the seems more it in general any
type any kind of rubato any kind of
tempo changes and make sure you're
always feeling than organic pulse to
guide you or else if you just pick a
random tempo that's slower or a random
writ like however you want to take time
it often doesn't sound natural
when you're doing articulations don't
think about the tongue this is very
strange and when you're playing a
technical passage don't think about the
notes I know this sounds very weird okay
but I want you to focus when you're
articulating on the air and when you
plant your in your plank technical
passages I want you to focus on the
music so it says confocal that's what I
want you to think about and it was says
gracioso that's all I want you to think
about
