peer agreement (net): +2| la retenue (phrase) ... The reserved... Explanation: The reserved style that we have become accustomed to, breaks lose with the surprising modulation that marks the beginning of P's solos on the alto saxophone. That's my go at the sentence. "La retenue" would be the controlled, reserved style of the piece up until the solo. |
