I always think it’s interesting to hear what musicians have to say about their craft and the music that they’re playing. Ms. Trautwein, made some particularly apt comparisons between growing through music and cultivating a garden; Mr. Rosenwein provided a bit of insight to the not-so-glamorous life of an oboist (who knew they made their own reeds?); and Ms. Hashizume provided some information on the differences between the baroque and modern violin, and how that affects the sound.

I read it here.

Yes, it’s not-so-glamorous at times. But I do love it!
