I would love to see her perform "Flight of the Bumble Bee"in that bumble bee suit.

I think that she's progressed past that as an artist now, but I will, if it would make you happy!tubatooter1940 wrote:I would love to see her perform "Flight of the Bumble Bee"in that bumble bee suit.

I appreciate your kind offer, WSB, but with you in the bumble bee suit, the magic just wouldn't be there.

Maybe not, but I'd sure make a mess of your windshield!

Oh, I think the magic would be there, alright. Not the kind of magic that I would appreciate, but it would be there. So, thanks, but no thanks.tubatooter1940 wrote:I appreciate your kind offer, WSB, but with you in the bumble bee suit, the magic just wouldn't be there.
I'd like to see the bumblebee act reprised, however I doubt we will see that happen. Of course, I don't know here personally, and don't really know her personality. If she's kind of crazy(I can be sometimes, believe it or not), then she just might do that just for the fun of it. That may be what motivated her to do it the first time.

What I found interesting was that they discouraged marking music... that the venue, acoustics and conductor may mean that it will suddenly become inappropriate.
And great job by Ms Jantsch!!

I'd love to see and hear Carol perform her transcription of the entire Khachaturian Violin Concerto with full orchestra.tubatooter1940 wrote:I would love to see her perform "Flight of the Bumble Bee"...
Maybe on her first DVD...

I was lucky enough to catch this clinic. I gotta say their principal trombone really caught my ear. That guy was worth the trip alone.

It is much simpler than that. After 20 years of sitting next to someone you know their tendencies and body language. People who have only played with the same players for a semester or 4 might not fully understand, but it really does feel natural after years.jls8177 wrote:I guess the "they discouraged marking music" comment is in the ears of the beholder. If you take it in the context that they were talking. The said that when they are specifically talking about taking breaths on long notes, they prefer not to mark the parts.
Their reasoning is simply when in a performance situation, you may be stepping up the volume a bit making those breath marks unrealistic or if you're playing the same piece in different venues, you may have to make some adjustments OR if a different conductor from the last 6 times you've played New World takes a drastically different tempo, your breath marks may not be valid.

At the clinic Eric made the comment that after playing with Blair for over 20 years now he better have figured out when he is going to breathe. I was referring to that comment specifically.tuben wrote:As to the 20 year analogy, the section in Philly has not been together for one year yet!
The newest trombonist in the section has already been in nearly 8 years. The next over a decade and then Eric and Blair.

We aren't Philly, but same stuff happens here with breathes and breaks in phrases. We play the same tunes ad naseum and all know when to leave the holes for breathing. New guys always fall into a few until they figure it out. You can even tell when there are too many sit down folk on a ceremony cause the phrasings and dynamics are all different.bloke wrote:Whenever a brass player or percussionist subs with this orchestra for their first time, they aways end up getting "caught" in the first rehearsal.
ps. folk might also include Folks First Class, Master Folks, and Folks Major. hooah

I gotta say that I've seen many good performances at the ETW, but every now and then there are performances that transcend all others. The Philadelphia Orchestra low brass section on Saturday was one of those events.
You have another chance. The principal trombone, Nitzan Haroz, is making an appearance at the Peabody in Baltimore tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 27 Mar) with Trio Hidas. Trio Hidas is composed of Nitzan Haroz, Haim Avitsur, and David Taylor. They're presenting a masterclass and recital performance. Event begins at 7PM. See you there!Woodsheddin wrote:I was lucky enough to catch this clinic. I gotta say their principal trombone really caught my ear. That guy was worth the trip alone.

How is parking up there? I have never been to Peabody. I am also a David Taylor fan so it sounds like a great event.tuba_hacker wrote:You have another chance.

Don't know about parking, I'm making my first trip there myself. But since it's after work hours I'm going to presume that parking will not be a problem that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
