Fantastic article. I remember reading about a Nocturne of Chopin's that when Chopin himself played it, he had the impeccable ability to keep a constant tempo with his left (rhythm) hand, while speeding up and slowing down with his right. I realized how difficult this was when I attempted it myself.

The un-importance of being together
Yes, as a violinist it is easier when I play a concerto with an orchestra. The thrill of bending in and out of a structure is just amazing! However, some orchestras have more difficulty with it, it is just so ingrained to try and stay together.
However, I can imagine that if you are in charge of all the parts yourself, it would be fiendishly hard to do (on purpose!) at first. Especially as it has been trained out of us!
You should try and find some good fortepianists (Mozart era piano specialists!). If they are serious about their art, then they learn this technique pretty well.
