Well said, Di. Going further, 'life and bounce' are (imho)
incompatible with 'breakneck speed'. Try, for example, to play a jig
with any kind of lilt AND to play it fast, and you'll soon stop
wanting to play it fast. This is so obvious to me now, but I admit it
took me years to arrive at the obvious.

Breakneck speed with accuracy IS impressive, as Paul points out with
some irony; it is unattainable for many (self included), and more
importantly - do you want to be impressed by music, or caressed by
music?
