Answer is simple: GET OUT OF YOUR BED MUCH EARLIER, no matter when you have gone sleep.
Some grimasse exercises with or without mirror, just to relax your face muscles, which should be relaxed after a few hours anyway. But, have you ever thought, that you might use too much front pressure ????? As you play 4rth, there should be no exhaustment. If you have a performance on 4rth, do not poooh-poooh too much. There is no "Sherman-tank-noise" necessary in classical music. And nobody says, that all dynamics must be at maximum loudness. There is no maximum in the music. There is a simple rule: if you cannot listen the other voices, you are much too loud definitely. Use your brain to avoid burned through chops. In the music wold, it is not necessary that YOU be heard. Let this business for those, who play the solo or the melody line. Be happy, that you can support them. Be happy with being part of the whole ensemble. Music has no place for a loudness competition. Well, these little solos in Flying Dutchman Ouverture can make players nervous like hell. "Have seen cows vomiting", so the proverb. Big mouth before the performance, but "fffffa-a-a t-t-tu-u-ut-t-t- to-o-otfff- - - - t-foo-oo-t-tu-u-t-tfhoo-o-ot----t-ta-a-a-" (the colleagues):-ha-ha-ha ....." Stop bear after performances, so to get up from the materrasse EARLY, so your body is awake long before the start of the rehearsal. I said LONG BEFORE. AND STOP PRESSING !!!! BTW: if the solo is marked "p", think of a bit soloistic piano. This solo is one of the most popular "laugh numbers" in the horn orchestra literature. The other one is the No.2 in the real opera, also in piano, 2nd horn enters with 1/16 f# below staff, followed by a 1/2 note f# & slurs up for a tritunus to the c1. All in very slow tempo. An incredible laugh number, if the 1st horn has a dirty look to the 2nd just before the solo & makes a puckering mouth: pfffft-pffft. Works 100%. ###################################################################################################### Am 14.06.2010 um 16:11 schrieb William.S.Gross: > A problem I've been fighting for a while is lack of flexibilty in the > morning.
