[@bcjohnson3]

I'm not sure I would necessarily follow anyone's advice here except Cynthia's.. every single comment and suggestion she makes is spot on.

[@newworldsymphony]

Thank you!

All due respect to MTT, I was a professional ballet dancer from 2000-2015, I can assure the tempo he chose for the Giselle excerpt would be considered quite problematic for an actual ballet performance.

[@newworldsymphony]

Thank you. We appreciate your respectful comment.
