Bananas help, SERIOUSLY. Just take 1 or 2 half an hour before the performance. I remember well 2 concerts, one which included Saint Saens' Danse Bacchanale, and one which included Vivaldi's Gloria, in which both i had tremendously big solos to play. I was absolutely nervous as usual, but at the point when i started blowing, that anxiety turned into excitement. I also played a few concerts in between those 2 where i DID NOT have any bananas, yeah, you know the consequences. Maybe it is a psychological thing (probably, because the Saint Saens was 2 nights in a row, and the 2nd night i didnt take any bananas, the solos were less good, but non the less good enough.), but who knows? It worked for me!
Regards,
Howard
