One can't judge Wagner's opera Lohengrin after a first hearing, and I certainly don't intend hearing it a second time. The next day Wagner returned to the same spot and found the organ-grinder grinding out the overture at the correct tempo. Musicians do it with rhythm. Musicians do it in quartets. Musicians do it in rhythmically.
Musicians do it on a higher scale.
Musicians do it in the practice room. Musicians do it according to the conductor's instructions. Drummers do it faster and faster. Pianists touch, tickle, and titilate. Jazz musicians do it with improvisations.
