Unexpected Nasty Horn Solo
(Note, nasty to play, it is nice to listen to)
Just discovered at tonight's orchestra rehearsal that I have a really tricky solo to perfect for Thursday. This was rather unexpected, as the 4th horn part doesn't normally have much in the way of tricky solos. I really wish I'd been able to make the earlier rehearsals now. Anyway, it looks like I will spend this evening listening to a CD of the piece, to work out how it goes, and spend lots of time practising it tomorrow
By the way, the piece is Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and this bit is about 7 and a half minutes into the 3rd movement, and I am playing it this Thursday, 8PM at All Saints Parish Church in Leam. Hopefully I'll be able to play it by then.

Well, I messed up one bar, but I managed to play the rest reasonably well. It would have been better with more time, but I think it is quite good considering I didn't start playing the piece till Tuesday (I have had chance, and will get more chance, to practice the music for my next concert, so don't be put off). All in all, an enjoyable concert to perform in.
