Flow is an interpretive condition as much as a title. Meter changes and technical turns should redirect the current without stopping it, which requires shared subdivision and clear awareness of harmonic arrival.
The soloist should distinguish intensity from weight. Keep air and fingers moving freely through dense passages, then use color and dynamic scale to show where the larger structure accelerates or settles.
