Menuhin plays Bach - Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042 - Third Movement [Part 3/3]

[polymath7]

One last thing. I tried and failed, for the sake of open minded curiosity to see this little exchange resolved, to keep the snark out of my last two comments.

But if you can highlight any obvious hostility in my first comment, or give me any clear reason to issue an apology, you'll get one.

@gerhold101 "-you seem to savour combat?"

You do have me there. I must admit there have been many, many times when I have been unduly aggressive in internet exchanges, and occasionally just a plain dick.

Ironically, I'm pretty sure this was not one of them.

Anyway, no hard feelings, on my end at least.

@gerhold101 "Your first post was a clear misassumption of my meaning..."

My first post was a casual and knowingly provisional interpretation of your ambiguous phrasing, to which I am not particularly committed and certainly need not blush at. Where is the disambiguation that ought have obviated my ignominiously obtuse misreading?

Speaking of misreadings, what does the conjunction "spot-on" mean to you? It is indeed at least benign.

Non c'è vitalità, sembra che l'esecutore abbia tolto da questo concerto la sua polpa, deve essere più vitale e non deve sembrare una cantilena!

Truly flows like a river!
