That's the way Stravinsky was. Bup, bup, bup, bup. The poor guy's dead now. Play it legato.
Don't think you are looking at me because you are not.
The notes are right, but if I listened they would be wrong.

Bizet was a very young man when he composed this symphony, so play it softly.
Please follow me because I have to follow him and he isn't here.
