Being a "Mature" clarinetist

Author: Chris Hill
Date: 2006-01-24 02:23

I've discovered some of the positives and negatives of being a "Mature" (i.e. over 40 Y.O) clarinetist. As I was sitting down to practice Mahler 1, I saw "Schalltr. in die hohe." Being "mature", I know that it means bells up. That's a positive. The negative is that when I held my head up a little bit to have some control, I was looking under my bifocals. This meant that I saw a really neat design, which is a positive, but I couldn't read the music, which is a big negative. I thought about it, and realized that if I were to get some of those really big 1980's glasses and have them made into bifocals, I could see the music, which is a positive. These glasses are ugly, which is a negative. Being 45, I have a pair of 1980's glasses in my house, which is both a positive and a negative, for obvious reasons.
I thought I was going to be 25 forever! What happened?
