15. Violin, books, and attempting to study
Everybody else has their copy of The Cursed Child and is freaking out over FINALLY being able to read the script and I, like a fool, pre-ordered mine with Royal Mail forgetting one very important detail
I’m wheeeezing
The Boston Symphony was performing Beethoven’s Ninth. In the piece, there’s a long passage about 20 minutes during which the double basses have nothing to do. Rather than sit around the whole time looking stupid, some bassists decided to sneak offstage and go to the tavern next door for a quick one. After slamming several beers in quick succession (as double bassists are prone to do), one of them looked at his watch. “Hey! We need to get back!”
“No need to panic,” said a fellow bassist.
“I thought we might need some extra time, so I tied the last few pages of the conductor’s score together with string. It’ll take him a few minutes to get it untangled.”
A few moments later they staggered back to the concert hall and took their places in the orchestra. About this time, a member of the audience noticed the conductor seemed a bit edgy and said as much to her companion.
“Well, of course,” said her companion. “Don’t you see?
It’s the bottom of the Ninth, the score is tied, and the bassists are loaded.”
is this what the kids are listening to these days?
Took me a while to identify what in the world the other brass was till I realized it wasn’t.
Someone even transcribed it!
