It's the "right time" that's the rub! Ross was a true master of the micro articulations, the microsecond precise speedup or delay in between the notes that adds something magical to the music. It's funny, when you listen to a Scarlatti sonata in midi form that has been prepared through software sequencing and is metronomically precisely "correct," it sounds utterly dull, flat, and boring. The quick attack of the harpsichord and its lack of dynamics makes this the only way to add the emotion and excitement to the music that gives it a special feeling. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know, just thought others might find it interesting.
