Hello Dana, I could get him nervous, very nervous, acting like Dr.Karl Boehm in Fidelio:
arriving in the pit, receiving the large welcome applaud, turning around quickly & the down beat is there: dee-tu-tuh - Tee-tu-tuh - Theee-tu-tuh-tu-tuut, silence, hypnotic view, a very little gesture for the so much feared down beat for the two horns. I would like to have William on 2nd, to learn him to get nervous, while I am cold like ice - outside. He would ask me whispering: "Is blood brown ?" - "No, why ?" - "His eyes are like stilettoes & I feel might be injured !?" Carlos Kleiber was not better at his Rosenkavaliers. Not yet arrived on the conductors place he gave the upbeat to the horns. Nuremburg formula One is like a most comfortable walk compared with that. Or let him start with Oberon, when I whisper: "My valves got stuck. Take over, please !" That´s the way, to cure these know-it-all. That´s the professional way. Or committiing a clam, a real big one - and look at him on the 2nd. Will give him a shock for lifetime. He will get red face & eat all my cowardness. We have more of such cures just ready. Life is unfair, at least sometimes. But fortunately it hits those who have the big mouth. ################################################################################################################ Am 21.05.2010 um 20:58 schrieb Dana Twiss: > William said: "I personally never saw Horn playing as being as difficult as > my full time job - maybe thats why I look forward to the gigs and I just > don't get antsy or nervous about them." > > Maybe that's because your living isn't dependant upon your horn playing. > It's a different matter when horn playing is the sole means of keeping a > roof over your head and food on the table.
