Every ngering and bowing that I choose, whatever I play, is guided by my aimtoachieve a particular colour and emotional impact, and to communicate my understanding of each phrase. In this piece, when there arethree soloists and an orchestra to bring together, of course, it’s really theconductor who has the nal say. Whatever the soloists decide as atrio in rehearsals, and however many discussions you may have about doing things inacertain way, in the end much of it in terms of timing, if not colour will be out of your control. Forcertain types of personality this might be quite frustrating, but Ienjoy going with the ow, so it doesn’t bother me at all!
