Temperament for an orchestral player

Author: S. Friedland

I have not read the article in the Clarinet Journal. Its discussion however brought to mind just what it takes to play in an orchestra.
Mr Palanker wrote a brilliant response which brings to mind a subject seldom discussed: The emperament necessary for an orchestral position, a key for longevity. Thirty years or more of the good, the bad and the ugly;the audition, the cliques, the fashions, the conductors favorites, union affairs, touring, and of course the enormous pressure of always being watched and heard. As much as brilliant playing, the decorum within an orchestra should perhaps be discussed in order that the many young people who are in school and have playing aspirations,learn more than articulation and repertoire.

Perhaps it is worth discussing.
