Write an instruction clearly enough to begin and incompletely enough to require a person. This is the first rule, and it should immediately be misheard.
A score that eliminates interpretation is not a score but a transfer protocol. A score that offers no resistance is only permission. The interesting instruction establishes a boundary and then makes the performer discover what kind of attention the boundary demands. Repeat the phrase may mean preserve its notes, its duration, its effort, or merely the memory that a phrase occurred.
Mishearing is not carelessness when it reveals an assumption embedded in the command. It can show that two people understand sameness, silence, or completion differently. The work is not the victory of one interpretation over another. It is the audible or visible structure produced by their negotiation.
