I hope any pianist collaborating with singers would not find such a thing a
hinderance. A real pianist eats such stuff for breakfast. If one has to
work out some fingerings and get a difficult passage up to tempo, one
practices. Vocalisters, have any of your repertoire choices been nixed by
your accompanists? I'm curious.
