In this 75-minute collaboration, we will explore the idea of a personal inner tempo and then consider the challenge of “being music” that is at tempos more-than and less-than our authentic selves. How am I to feel the reality of another? With examples from Bach, La Bottine Souriante, and Satie, we will consider the difference between playing the notes of and being the music of another.
