expressivity

After all Justin's worrying me about how Bernard Winsemius would hate my romantic interpretation of van Noordt's Sonata, Bernard's main advice was to play with far more expression and drama, to bend the tempo, to make theatrical contrasts in volume... to make people weep, as he demonstrated to great laughter. It's just too bad that, as the last person to play, I could only listen to him speak rather than actually try out what he suggested. Next time, I'm going first.

After our recital in Veere, the neighbors of the City Hall randomly invited us in for drinks. And the one that drove us back took us by the most roundabout way possible, passing by a most interesting lighthouse in Westkapelle.
