Evening Klarinetters, sorry it's been along time and that the novelty's
worn off it all.... Someday, I think the C Clarinet mesaages were only an
illusion, put there to fool me into thinking I could live in glory on the
list for evermore, but mabye it's not like that......

Anyway, Thursday night was the night of the Yorchestra concert I was
playing(by pure fluke) 1st clarinet in Yorchestra 2(more important than
Yorchestra 3) And we did the Hallelujah chorus and Finale from the 5th
Symphony by Beethoven. We'd practiced a load more but they wanted to keep
the concert short. And a wind band piece BUT the stupid woman loved the
flutes so much she didn't enen give out clarinet 1, so we spent all out
time going omm-pah-pah oom-pah-pah. She was really biased, it was stupid
anyway I was panicking, i couldn't do rthe triplets in the Beethoven,
aaargh, aaaaaargh I was going it was horrific, (this was Thursdat AM)
Anyway I got up dead early and practised them, and in the evening it was
WIERD because my fingers KNEW where to go, it was like the notes on the
paage werecompletely bypassing my brain and going straight to tnhe
fingers, really X-files stuff. Aaaargh, I was thinking, aaaaaaargh AND IT
SOUNDED BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!

I love music!
