Re: OT - Buffalo Philharmonic principal oboe takes his firing to court

The full article is just rife with material on which to comment. I for one find the situation sad, but it is not terribly uncommon either. There have been some pretty famous riffs amongst principal players in major orchestras over the years that never got to this level (publicly, legally, career wise). There was at least one musician in a major symphony who got pretty hot under the collar regularly and that person was finally removed.

The last words in the article in defense of the oboist are, "It (his orchestral spot) is his life." I would hasten to add then that the responsibility lands squarely on the shoulders of each member of a well reputed and well paying ensemble to always comport themselves with that in mind. There is ALWAYS someone else (as we all know) who is MORE talented than you, who is waiting for a chance at that very chair.

There is no such thing as "too much gratitude."
