 What to do?

So - last night a concert in the park. I am playing Holsts Jupiter .... here comes my solo ... and something goes wrong in the orchestra. I continue to play - hesitate and complete the solo.

As I play I ask - myself - is it my fault? Did I count wrong. Should I drop out (if I am wrong) or should I continue in spite of the commotion?

I went up to the conductor during the intermission ... and I was very happy to find out ... it was the clarinets that came in wrong during the solo.

How do you decide to play or not - when something goes awry? It takes a quick mind to acertain the cause of the problem(s).

By the way ... the conductor said I held it together ... which enabled the orchestra to regroup.

Comments?

Mark
