Revisar
By the time the rehearsal ended, it was clear that the performance would not work as originally planned. The director had invited suggestions, but several of us hesitated to speak, partly because the most experienced members appeared satisfied. Only when a musician described a difficulty she had encountered did the discussion move beyond general assurances. Her point was not that the arrangement lacked ambition, but that its complexity was obscuring the melody we wanted the audience to hear. Had she kept that concern to herself, we might have mistaken silence for agreement. The revised version was simpler, though not less demanding: each pause now required a more deliberate response from the players. What changed was our understanding of where the difficulty lay. We left with fewer notes to perform and more decisions to make, having accepted that abandoning part of a plan need not mean abandoning the purpose that gave rise to it.
- several off us → several of us
«several of us»: Of es la preposición de este grupo; off expresa separación y es otra palabra.
- members appears satisfied → members appeared satisfied
«members appeared satisfied»: La acción se sitúa en el relato pasado; conserva -ed en lugar de trasladarla al presente.
- Had she keep → Had she kept
«Had she kept»: Kept es el participio de keep. Aquí Had se coloca antes de she para expresar una condición irreal del pasado, equivalente a «If she had kept». Imagina lo que habría pasado si ella hubiera callado; no afirma que callara.
- silence for a greement → silence for agreement
«silence for agreement»: Agreement significa acuerdo y se escribe como una sola palabra; no comienza con el artículo a separado.
- fewer note to perform → fewer notes to perform
«fewer notes to perform»: La referencia es plural; conserva la terminación -s del sustantivo en este pasaje.
- the difficulty lied → the difficulty lay
«the difficulty lay»: Lay es aquí el pasado de lie, estar situado; lied corresponde a lie, mentir.
