Thanks for reminding us (and hopefully all our adjudicators!) that there is no one correct interpretation of a piece of music, and that (up to a point) all of our readings of a score are valid. At this stage of the rehearsal process its so easy to become bogged down in minutiae and lose sight of the bigger vision. > P.S.

The same to you and yours. And its so important to keep these things in perspective!
