What do you refuse to translate?
Just sent off a manuscript and spent the morning staring at a single phrase I chose to leave in the original language—because any English version would have flattened it. It made me wonder what people hold back not out of secrecy, but because rendering it would cost too much. What's yours?

There's a phrase in a piece I keep playing—a tempo marking that isn't a word but a feeling. I've stopped telling people what it means; it only survives if it stays unsaid.
