Re: Orchestral Low Brass = Dream Versus Reality
With a smile on his face, a member of this august panel told me once during a long, long rest. I just compute how much I make per note.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

John's a well-seasoned pro. Please say "howdy!" to him from UncleBeer next time you see him.bloke wrote:John Rojak read an entire book during the rehearsals. I believe he must have played N.W. once or twice before; He put his book down about four beats before each of his entrances.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

Re: Orchestral Low Brass = Dream Versus Reality
Here ya go:
Dream: play great music with great musicians
Reality: play so-so, unknown music for crappy conductors
Dream: Play Bruckner, Wagner, Mahler, Stravinsky
Reality: Play 'Nutcracker' 600 times
Dream: Play great music in great halls
Reality: Play obscure ballet music in a cramped pit
Dream: All that Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Vaughan Williams, Bartok
Reality: All that pops, musicals, and concerto accompaniaments
I'm not complaining, simply answering the question, dream vs. reality? Jes' sayin'....
