I’m just home from our first Rite of Spring rehearsal.
I just want to say … I love this work!
This is the third time I’ve played this, but the first time for the doubling book. It’s great fun. And no stress. Cool!
I know your music better than you do. Just sit down!
-Arturo Toscanini, said to Puccini at a dress rehearsal, read in Marcel Tabuteau: How Do You Expect to Play the Oboe If You Can’t Peel a Mushroom?
