Glenn Gould suggested Mozart tended to write “empty passage work” BECAUSE he was an improviser. I think he was wrong about Mozart - that passage work might look dull on paper but it serves the...
Your reading comprehension was just fine through the first few sentences of his post but then he said, "In fact, if I understand it now, the quarter note stays exactly the same. The bar is 3.5...
