sometimes, for me its a mental thing. One night I was playing tenor recorder in a small band, for live dance. We had planned a long set of free galliards, as librarian I had chosen several pieces from our repetoire, all were arranged on the stands, and off we went. I wasnt alone in having trouble, but I can only tell you what my problem was - brain lock at the changes between pieces, we were supposed to run it all together, with a continuous drum beat; but the problem for me was the various editions all were done to different degrees of 'reduction'. One was in 6/4, another 6/8, yet another in 3/4;2/4;6/4; 3/2 even. No problem in rehearsal, each piece considere seperatly. Yes, a case of not enough rehearsal, and, as librarian, I should have prepared performing editions of all of it, using common editorial practice for all. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
