In considering the points discussed regarding this Board as repository vs. current social media, I thought I'd give some examples of postings that came "out of the blue" that were really important over the years.

The first example that comes to mind was a fingering for altissimo Bb. I'd never seen that one before and now use it almost exclusively......mundane but relevant.

Then there was a bit of a controversy over practicing a difficult passage slowly or fast. Then came a posted video of a violinist referring to the many difficult moments in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. He too referred to the muscular difference between moving slowly and moving quickly. His technique came down to starting with a movent from just one note to the next and making more of an almost imperceptible "flick," then building on that with more notes and/or moving to a different starting place along the troublesome passage..........definitely eyeopening and somewhat unexpected. I don't know if our most esteemed colleagues would have shared that particular video (or have known about it).

Most recently there was a discussion and then a video posting of a Marcellus student who took about 35 minutes to describe a 28 day break in period for reeds that seems to produce a collection of "bullet proof" reeds that I'd NEVER heard of before. In addition to this "old" technique that was "news" to me, the last few minutes mention that you should have a variety of different reed strengths available in your "quiver" for rainy days when you'll prefer harder reeds and dry cold days when you'll prefer softer reeds. After fifty years of playing and attending many pedagogical presentation on how to adjust reeds, THAT was brand new information for me.

Just a few highlights of........"The Unexpected"............and priceless
