Just done Sibelius 3rd Concerto at St Martins Church with the - TopicsExpress



          

Just done Sibelius 3rd Concerto at St Martins Church with the Worcestershire Symphony Orchestra - maybe it isnt the done thing to admit this, but Ive practiced one particular bit quite a fair bit in the run up and there is this utter pig of a whole page worth of very rapid semiquavers that keep changing key and position (half position, second, you name it). Even played along to various versions on Youtube! And then, just like every music teacher knows, you got to rehearsals and it was never as good as you practiced at home of course! Well..I can say that I am sure we improved by several factors tonight - evidently the section has put in some work since the other day or really rise to an occasion - its bloomin worrying in the run up, but quite a buzz afterwards. No, it wasnt perfect but maybe we captured something of the musicality of it! All you can do is hope to improve and its one big learning curve :) Oh, and we get to play some Harry Potter next time (its the Childrens concert every November) so *bounce*
