<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve just posted a little essay on the blog about dynamics, and how some are more negotiable than others in performance:
<a href="https://smtpaig.wordpress.com/2017/05/13/intrinsic-and-extrinsic-dynamics/">
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Dynamics</a>. Among other things, I discuss <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixb7qLg7xbQ">
one of my favorite recordings</a>, of Myra Hess playing Chopin’s C minor Nocturne. I hope you enjoy it, and the post!<o:p></o:p></p>
