Subj: [DR-L] Mozart
Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 20:13:09 -0400
Dear DR List:
To continue this Mozart thread ...today I was rehearsing M's Hafner and the
Flute concerto in G major and thinking about your comments. But it's never
delicate or elegant enough when one plays Mozart and always so
transparent.And yet it must sound as if we are playing as if it was the
easiest thing in the world to play!
Some time ago I performed the arrangement of a trio for oboe and bassoon
with piano of the Bb Trio by Mozart and someone on the other List commented
it was a very easy piece.Not for me.Not that I couldn't play it technically
easily but there is so much subtle moments in Mozart,which only a double
reed player with complete control can conquest.
My query for today though does it pay to stop so many times during a
rehearsal to correct things /"mistakes"? My lifetime experience in music
tells me No--it's often a waste of time in preparing for the final
performance.But you may think otherwise.
Best wishes,
Harold Emert
