I'm excited about this concert...well, I mean, I'm always very excited to perform with an orchestra. But this one...it's definitely one of the more challenging concerts I've played. We're playing Schumann's "Overture, Scherzo & Finale" and Marquez' "Danzon No. 2" among others, both of which are much more rhythmic than they are melodic. Those of you who have played the Schumann before know that the notes go by really quite fast. And it definitely has some surprises. As the principal player, I have to be on top of these difficult parts and vigilante, which I haven't always succeed at...sigh, it's quite different when you just don't get to play advanced music as much. You seem to lose your edge a bit. No matter. I'll get back at it!
Take care and value music.
