Hello Bill, having such super-ambitious female players in any section of any orchestra, no matter amateur or professional, would be a nightmare for the particular section & the orchestra as a whole. So she deserved some hacking.
As I said many times before but repeat again, playing in the orchestra must never be seen as a competition, even it has some in common with the olympics: "Be a part of it, is worth joining. If I contribute to the success of the organisation, I will participate on the public recognition also, which gives a lot of satisfaction." But some people might be masochists & remain so, despite well meant advise by more experienced colleagues or by players with life long experience in the high level professional field. "Cooking spoon swinger horn players all over the world, unite !" - but these male players, who still are hang on mothers kilt, join them - all together, male players, who do not know if they are male, female or nothing. Fortunately we have many examples of female players, who perform excellently, who do not have or develop these strange attitudes which destroy the ensemble, but are most valuable & reliable colleagues in many orchestras. #################################################################################### Am 26.05.2010 um 11:33 schrieb Bill Gross: > I thought Hans had excluded Valerie from his diatribe.
