Kevin,
I have heard of some professional orchestras (worldwide) doing this in
certain circumstances, although I don't think it's ever the players' idea.
Sounds like you're playing the "crowd-pleaser" arrangement... can everyone
remain standing, or maybe leave the stage or lie on the floor after their
solo? You know, so the audience will know just who didn't get a solo? Or
maybe for the handful of scary solos (bassoon, trombone), if it doesn't go
well you could sit back down and hope for a second run at it later?

Subject: [DR-L] Bolero
Dear List:
On the 19th and 20th I will be performing (among other things) 2nd oboe /
oboe d'amore in Bolero (Ravel).
Yesterday, I received an email from management that said our conductor has
asked that all of the instrumentalists stand during their solo passages.
:::rolling my eyes:::
My question is this: How common is this practice? Has anyone else ever
performed this piece this way?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
