Glad to hear there’s some wider applicability of this exercise – indeed, it’s weird how closely linked our right and left sides are. Being able to have some more independence between the two sides is pretty handy. I once saw the conductor David Robertson conduct a different meter in two different hands – not just as a gimmick, but because different parts of the orchestra really did need cues at different times in a particularly tricky passage. It was hilarious – but also awesome and actually quite helpful.
