Style

Advice from Burritt, Sejourne, and participants regarding playing Katamiya in the right style:

1. multiple levels of emphasis (make a clear difference between ghost notes, accents, tenudos, etc.)
2. groove! stress syncopations within dynamic framework
3. keep clear and simple for the audience
4. quarter note triplets do not have to be perfectly subdivided; piece can't be rhythmically square
