Work
I haven’t written a blog entry in a VERY long time. Sorry about that. I kept telling myself I had too much to do, to much work, was too tired at the end of the day. It’s not that there hasn’t been great stuff to write about. A brilliant fall dance concert, a great play, an excellent parents weekend. But today, I spent some time watching the orchestra rehearse Mozart’s Sinfonae Concertante with the Concertmaster and principal Violist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic as soloists. It was a long rehearsal, three hours. After the rehearsal I saw a lone violinist walking off toward the practice room. “Aren’t you tired, I asked?” “No. Just thinking about how I can play better..” And off he went to practice before the next rehearsal, which starts in two hours. Mission accomplished. And no more excuses for me.
