This is kind of a curiosity question I'd thought to ask...
In terms of speech, people who teach often slow down their speech pace for the more important things, but speed up for unimportant things.
My question is, should (or do) we also tend to slow down our playing speed for more important phrasing, and speed up for unimportant things?
The only reason for my saying this is because an audience needs time to digest what they hear. If something is said or played too quickly, can an audience hear and/or digest it?
Is it because as older people, we tend to listen for context and a deeper meaning, or is it because we have a hard time "getting all that" if we can't hear it?
Please discuss.
