apologies to fliss, for mistaken gender. to anglo..foOlestroupe was implying that analise meant looking up your arse, that is why I mentioned, that according to the dictionary its NON EXISTENT.
   Analysis is o k it helps you to understand what your doing,but at the end of the day playing with emotion or feeling is something that has to come from within. I could play you an air without any ornamentations or twiddles and just through feeling and dynamics bring it to life[CAPE CLEAR on my c d NAUTICAL AND ]is a good example.I believe ornamentation, came about because musicians had to play the same tune over and over again for a set dance[ lets say The
Blackbird]where a particular tune had to be used, by the third time the tune was played, quite naturally the player starts to put in ornamentation to relieve his boredom .in my opinion although ornamentation is interesting it is secondary to playing with feeling.
    Finally COMHALTAS have a lot to answer for with their obsession with ornamentation in competitions, creating a situation where people over ornament, in the belief that this will win them competitions, sometimes to the point where the tune is unrecognisable.Dick Miles
