Yet the application of technical rigidity is necessary in the learning process of most arts and crafts. A violin student must learn where to find the notes and how to use the bow to extract and sustain them. Hours of trial and error, repetition and practice causes the "technical rigidity" to disappear into the art of performance. Of course if we had a digital violin with auto fretless fingering, auto bow use, auto chords, auto melody, auto symphonic mode, auto bluegrass mode, etc. perhaps we could do away with learning the instrument; and simply dial in our creativity and push the button to produce the music to suit our mood. ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
