If I was playing something that ended without accompaniment, that wouldn't be a problem. Quote Selected

Reply #3 – 2019-02-22 08:32 pm Sorry, Warren, but I still don't understand.I do things like that very often when I play flute with my daughter at the harp and we never had problem.In case of a particularly difficult cadenza then we simply look at each other to be in synch, nothing more.

Re: Using accompaniment with a capella passages. Reply #4 – 2019-02-22 09:30 pm That works when the other musician is a real human being. NWC is going to come in at a specific time and I have to be ready for it. With a human at the piano it is easy to make eye contact, nod your head, or use the fiddle as a mini baton on the next entrance when both of us are ready. That isn't an option here. Quote Selected
