their finest expression Explanation: I think you need something a bit high-flown here, and it's a phrase often used in discussion of a range of cultural forms. Reference: http://www.amazon.com/review/R20GUSBBGIDC2V |

10 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2are perfectly suited (to this "Fantasy") Explanation: I would translate "encuentran su mejor acomodo" as "are perfectly suited"; no version with "find their best/finest" really works for me. It means that the pianist's qualities, as just defined, are at their most appropriate in this piece: "acomodo", from "acomodar(se)", referring to something that fits appropriately into a given context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2011-12-12 09:07:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Ideally suited" would also be fine, I think. It's a matter of taste. |
