Today my coach told me my rowing needed to be less Beethoven and more Mozart. (She used to study at Peabody, okay.) Anyone wanna interpret this for me?

Beethoven is loud, passionate and crashy, often unpredictable. Mozart is fast, but almost mechanically coordinated and very structured.

Thanks, Hannah. Can I help it if I row passionately?

Maybe she means you need to be less andante and more furioso.

I don't know. lol. I just felt like throwing out the terms andante and furioso.

Or maybe she means I should stop flailing, yeah?

BAAAAHAHAHAHA! Maybe!
