| Source Moment: | A master class with Julius Drake was perhaps the most memorable experience I had. His demonstration of discipline with dynamics (if this is your mp, you must have a p and a pp below it, as well as an mf, f, and ff above!) was both instructive in the immediate sense, but also with regard to the universal level of discipline and care one must have with all performance choices. |
