The second piece that Sophia and I worked on had a measure or two of total silence near the end. It was surprising to me how much she gushed about these measures (the irony of a pianist loving silence and all), but over time I've learned to really enjoy those kinds of stops and starts in the sound. There are a number of such places in this piece, along with more than a few tempo changes. So although it sounds like I lose my place a few times in the middle, the pauses are just whole rests with fermata over the top. The piece takes on the personality of a toy (either human or mechanical) that gets wound up, spinning 'round and 'round only to collapse in a heap on the floor.
