Subj: [kl] ensemble intonation
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 03:51:20 -0500

Hi, I have a little pet peeve. When I play in an ensemble there are
times in which we are not in tune with each other. What I mean is that
there are some places in which somebody plays a note a little out of tune
with the ensemble then tunes it. It is not just one person, rather several
people. It seems like that nobody listens first to how the next note should
sound before playing it. We cannot come to an agreement to how EVERY pitch
should sound. It is a real pain to the player and the director.
Is this just flat out part of ensemble playing, or not?
