a: Semicolon ~
b: politely clearing your throat

What: "But a semicolon is like politely clearing your throat. The semicolon says, 'There's still some caveat or paradox that I need to explain to you. There is a reservation I have about what I just said-something more you should know about.' The semicolon speaks to the other performer(s), as well as to the listeners. What I wish is that we musicians added some new punctuation marks to our annotations of music-especially the semicolon."
