1 If we want to block Kivy’s assimilation of silent reading to oneself to performing, one thing we need to do is to explain which step or steps down this slippery slope to block. One objection blocks the initial characterization of readers as “silent Ions,” on the grounds that it is highly unlikely that Ion and his ilk would have been reading “their lines,” and it is also unlikely that they would have been able to read. This distinction is often glossed over in English. What we call a “lecture” may or may not be read.
Indeed, the scene was almost unrecognizable. Clearly, decisions were made later in the development of the production that affected the provisional conclusions that were reached that day about how to stage that scene. Even the script itself was changed, with some lines excised and others added. Rehearsals often have a creative dimension that informs the production, and hence the performances of that production. One might think that a director would or should be able to work this out in his or her head.
They are not ruled out just in the case of first-time readings, but are not within the norms of preparation for any reading. Kivy contrasts the ability to read a novel for the first time with a reasonably high level of comprehension with the ability to “hear” a musical work when reading a score for the first time. The latter, he points out, is an exceedingly rare ability, even among musicians, and hence it does not provide a suitable model for the far more common ability to read. People exhibit different kinds of virtuosity, some of which are more rare than others and many of which are admired precisely because they are a kind of rare virtuosity.
