Re: Sight Reading practising concepts

I think my proof reading is worse than my sight reading.

There are legends of famous musicians who were incredible sight readers. The pre-adolescent Mozart was said to have astonished his father's string quartet members the first time he sat in with them; he replied that he didn't think one needed practice to play *second* violin.

When Grieg showed the barely legible manuscript of his newly composed piano concerto to Liszt, the elder musician immediately sat down and played it through, orchestral scoring and solo at once, all the while commenting to the composer, voicing praise and suggestions about the piece as it unfolded.

I saw a YT video that I surely can't find now of a composer showing Ricardo Morales a new clarinet concerto, wherein, as the composer plays it on keyboard, Morales joins in and just nails the tricky solo at sight. I think he later premiered the piece.
