I'm currently in the process of writing the program note for my brass
quintet 'BIG WASP' which is getting it's first performance in May, and
the same question has once again entered my head, so I thought I'd get
some thoughts on it.
Basically I'm just wondering what kind of size would most people think
of if someone says the phrase "big wasp". But more specifically:
Which would frighten you most?
A wasp the size of a trumpet?
A wasp the size of a tuba? or
A wasp the size of a concert hall?
(I know this is ridiculously off-topic, but I am actually quite
interested to know if there's a general consensus, and if so, it might
find its way into my program note.)
If the person is allergic to them, then a wasp the size of, well, a wasp
would be terrifying.
Too big and it becomes fantasy and easy not to be scared at all.
Perhaps something like a "wasp the size of a Big Mac" -- both those
images are terrifying to some of us! :-)
