Rehearsals and Jason Quotes
I hardly talk about this stuff any more, without much reason. I know there's only one other person that might care, and she already knows this stuff. But whatever.
I usually play section first violin in my various orchestras. Last night in the chamber orchestra, however, we were so short-handed on second violins that I offered to play first-chair second. It was no problem for me, but if it's a permanent change will have to depend on if other players decide to return. Given how much work I have with the other orchestra and my lessons, playing second violin may actually be better for my sanity.
Now, a few Jason quotes from the last few rehearsals that have stuck with me:
"When the stars explode, that means it's trombone time!"
"...a very mean sound. [Sempre] Meanioso."
"Prokofiev totally ripped this part off of John Williams!"
"I want you to spend the next week off-beating."
