[ noun ] (music,performing arts) the act of playing a musical instrument
Used in print (High Fidelity, 11:10...)Let me say at the outset that the music sounded as sparkling on the last playing as it did on the first . Yet no detail was too small to receive attention from this master , and as a result the playing here has humor , delicacy , and radiant humanity . I , for one , rather regret that Schnabel did n't collaborate with the Budapest_Quartet , whose rugged , athletic playing was a good_deal closer to this pianist 's interpretative outlook than the style of the Belgian group . From a technical standpoint , the string playing is good , but the Pro_Arte people fail to enter into the spirit of things here . Some of Curzon 's playing strikes me as finicky , however .
