Be a little bit miserly with what you write and say.
In an email, I once thanked Alice Parker for her parsimonious writing in her book The Anatomy of Melody. I meant: there was a clarity and precision that bordered on poetry. There were no more words than necessary to explain her ideas.
Parsimonious, unfortunately, is generally given a negative connotation. Synonyms include “miserly” and “stingy.” But for me, language that is cut to the bone is so much more valuable–I don’t have to wade through extra words to get to the idea.
For me, parsimonious writing, for me, is of great value. And the same is true of parsimonious instructions when leading a rehearsal, and parsimonious writing in a score.
Be a little bit stingy. Protect your words so they carry more meaning.
