The first 14 seconds of the video are silent to allow the viewer to imagine how the beginning of Chopin Nocturne in B-flat Minor, Op. 9 No. 1, should ideally sound.

Thereafter follows performances of highly respected and revered classical pianists who use rubato. The final performance is by a computer that doesn't use any rubato. Do you find the computer performance jarring, especially after hearing human performances that use varying degrees of rubato? Which performance do you prefer, and why? What is the maximum amount of rubato that you would tolerate?

In short, rubato is the push and pull of the tempo. Classically-trained pianists spend years developing their use of rubato.
