Interpretation -- Elements of music

[Bob]

If you took one note in music, I'm wondering what all the pieces are.

Pitch of course
Generally the duration, althought it's not always notated right


What else?
Dynamics
Ariticulation, which would go with duration and the phrase
phrase, It's usually part of some phrase
tempo

I suppose pedal too.  I'm thinking more in terms of sound though.  If you flipped open to a page, and played a note, what would you need to know to play that single note exactly as if you played it during a final finished polished performance?

...I guess you'd just have to play it within, at least, the phrase.

Out of context, a note is just a note.  Doesn't mean much by itself.

Bob, you've frankly got to challenge yourself more than that!

To be able to sit down, flip to any page, and play it perfect the first time?

That's not challenging enough?
