He hand picked a few students to teach. He didn't pick me. I told him he made a mistake. He agreed. I accompanied him to a mixing session of his Marilyn Home recording of Carmen on Deutsche Gramophone. He was the most brilliant musician imaginable.

Is the tempo consistant throught. should we put in some fortissimo otherwise it is boring. however what i hear is my music guys and the people here say you must always resolve into
