And I am listening to the “Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet” by Tchaikovsky. The first song that you listen to in the morning will affect your mood for the rest of the day you know? At least for the next 3 hours or so. I am in a damn tranquil and peaceloving mood now ah… Like I can just close my eyes and this beautiful range of mountains covered with green pastures will appear in my mind. And the air in the scenario is like the cold and fresh air in the morning 🙂 Later before I go to school I will listen to electronica music and make myself feel a bit more flexible and funky. (Don’t ask me why flexible.)
And I wonder how many people nowadays can still actually appreciate classical music 🙁 When I have children next time I will make make sure they listen to classical music. And maybe a bit of oldies. But oldies is such a generic thing. By the time I have kids maybe their oldies will be The Pussycat Dolls.
I’m fine with the run in the finale of Act 2 of Cosi now. How silly of me to get all worked up over it! It was the slower tempo that really threw me.
Of course now that I’ve written that I’ll probably flub it, eh?
Meanwhile, there are the reeds. Sigh.
I have one … you read it right … ONE … that I think is decent. And I’m even worried about that. I have a few that are so-so. And I have a ton that are horrible, sub-par, or unplayable. I’ll continue to plug away at them. And of course I’ll deal. That’s really the truth of it all; I have to play well on whatever I have. What other choice is there?
We have the two final dress rehearsals for Cosi, and then it’s on to the eight performances.
