BTW, I like Opera singers; I just don't like having to perform with them, or live with one either.
Did three sessions for a Time-Warner Commercial of "Take the time to smell the roses" for their Cable company. First was a waltz in F# Minor, then another in F minor, then they had me back to play a fast diddy in F# Major, I know, 6 sharps.
Today we went back to F Minor - I hope this thing sees the air, because I am getting crosseyed reading this stuff! Plus, I like reading in key signatures, and this music has a sharp or flat on every note. Enough to drive you crazy!
I haven't dropped a note so far, but just wait. The spot is beautiful though; I wish my whole life was just playing this incredible instrument and not dealing with all the business, politics, critics, agents, and nay-sayers of the world.
Oh well, the money for Concerto playing is incredible, so I can always walk away and say "next"!
