A just last thing for me and then you can have like a last word. Let's say the trainer, the

one who is the improviser, he's just a player he's not like in an orchestra that he is the one
who coordinate. He's not coordinator the improviser.

No.

Because the coordinator try to make this kind of polyphony like different parts do

different things but they all match together somehow and he's the one who try to links

but the improviser is something different from this because he is always into this process
and there's not like final product just the process going on. Am I right?

Yes, but you know that is a lot of orchestra directors that are really disposed to

improvisation also and we have different categories of orchestra directors and people that
have the opportunity to have experience with different orchestra directors. So we can find
also orchestra directors that are more improviser and so they don't give exactly the

moment but they create a new movement with their hand for instance in order to say «ok

this is a zone that you can do it» a zone, not a moment. And a lot of musicians, orchestra
musicians, perceive that this is a jump in the empty, because they would like director to tell
them when exactly & not let them with a «probably here» ...

But there's a lot of very, very famous orchestra directors that in interview confess that are
really, really attracted not by execution, because this is really about an experience which

gives them not any more satisfaction. So they don't want to repeat the execution but to
create a new version in each concert. And in order to do it you have to open to the

improvisation of each instrument during the performance. You have the main structure so
the first rule of improvisation is choose the main structure and use the greater freedom

you can.

Main structure and greater freedom…Yes.

Break the rules but not break completely the structure. And you can break different part

of the structure and in that way you can experience variation of the structure. You can vary
the rhythm, you can vary the time, you can vary note, you can vary content, time.

You can or you can't?
