Can those describing words (adjectives) help to find the focus quicker in between the performances of different excerpts in an audition situation? Does the musical meaning of my performance get stronger if I formulate my musical ideas in words before?

I researched the historical and compositional backgrounds of the excerpts. LÄS MER
