After spending the last 8 weeks in virtual solitary confinement - zero physical or mental support - something occurred to me. It has nothing to do with pens.
What happens if a selected piece of music is not to the personal taste of, say, half the players? (maybe this never happens, but still) While everyone is obviously a consummate professional, does musical taste alter the way such a piece of music gets rendered? Would it be noticeable to a discerning audience? Do the members of the orchestra have any say in what gets played? I just wondered how 'heart' affects music when played by a large group rather than by an individual.
Thanks in advance.
