 Solo with Possible Finger Injury
Author: jhall64

I have two weeks to a concert with a 49 measure clarinet solo - Blue Shades - and my left little finger is turning numb. Many doctors appointments this week. So far its work.

Question - is it panic time? Do I rewrite bits of the solo? Do I let the conductor know and let him worry about it? I'm leaning towards daily practice with re-writing as a back up. Our conductor and section don't need that worry before the concert.

I would appreciate hearing your experiences or thoughts. Thanks!
