The walking off stage is so disruptive and difficult on a crowded stage! <BR/><BR/>Now, in the new, smaller orchestra, we have two on stage and one extra hired for off stage. So last year when we played it I played 2nd oboe and EH. This allows for me to toot a bit of EH during a loud part at least. <BR/><BR/>But yes, the life of an EH player can be stressful! There are a ton of solos that we play after sitting forever. I'm not sure what composers were thinking. Maybe they weren't thinking. But for my 27 years in San Jose Symphony I had to deal with that a lot. What can ya do? :-)<BR/><BR/>But what I really want to hear about is your recital! :-)Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172401944836258683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592446021810335788.post-54419931955864856632008-04-23T00:21:00.000-07:002008-04-23T00:21:00.000-07:00thanks, natasha! i'm glad you updated your blog :)...thanks, natasha! i'm glad you updated your blog :)Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02587734192703062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592446021810335788.post-29891698439711032142008-04-21T20:50:00.000-07:002008-04-21T20:50:00.000-07:00I'm glad it went well.
