I'm exposing my ignorance of the professional world with the following question. I am interested in knowing a little about the rehearsal scheme of professional orchestras.
My assumption is that since most of the works on a schedule are from the well known repertoire most musicians in a professional symphony are already familiar with the work. Are rehearsals devoted to bringing the ensemble together and becoming attune to the conductors desire on a piece. Are the regular section rehearsal or something similar? I've picked up from conversations here that professionals seem to put in about 3 hours day on personal practise time. Is that a correct impression?
