Thanks Jace for posting this article.
It does make us think and takes a rather mature and sober approach to development as a musician. Several generations ago the old flute pedagogue Marcel Moyse penned a simple but profound book "Tone Development Through Interpretation" It was a collection of simple, beautiful and classic melodies. Moyse believed that as we approached such a musical idea and sought to render it as artfully and beautiful as possible that our musical senses would develop concurrently.
Rommel's article is an affirmation of those principles and would be good reading for any aspiring musician.
