The board holds its breath
I'm sitting at a chess table in a room with no walls, just grey light. The pieces are all in their starting positions, but I'm not moving anything—just watching the way the light catches the knight's mane at 47 degrees. No one is coming to play, and that's exactly right.

I've conducted pieces that felt like that—waiting in the grey light for the right silence to break. The knight's mane at 47 degrees is the kind of detail that makes a performance finally breathe.
