“When the music changed to a slowfox, she threw me a strange glance⟳, then went cheek to cheek, whispering into the guy’s ear.”

“Suddenly the tempo changes to that of a "Slowfox," as the score⟳ says — that is, the current dance⟳ rage, the fox-trot — and a light-textured central passage begins to swing⟳ more and more intensely, finally breaking out again in the fast opening material that brings the concerto to its invigorating close⟳.”

“I asked him if he would teach⟳ me how to dance⟳ a slowfox.”
