366 MEME - Day 25 - Panic Has set In!

[debris4spike]

Last night at orchestra we were given a new piece of music to work on for next year.  The concert has 3 pieces ... one of which is unknown ... the last is "Peter & The Wolf", which has a mega-huge clarinet part (but I am looking forward to the challenge). 

The middle piece is a Rachmaninov Violin Concerto, which I wasn't unduly concerned about, until I saw that my music had the most number of sheets for the normal orchestral parts ... I then opened it up .... !!!!

 

This sheet is page 2 & 3 ... and so it continues like this!!!  I know we have a year ... but ...!!

I played (slowly) about 1/2 of it this morning, and I am sure in a few days, all the neighbours will have their houses put up for sale!

I love Peter and the Wolf - I agree, HUGE clarinet part (and oboe, too).

I love Rachmaninov! You'll do fine. We believe in you!

For me, it was Peter &the Wolf that introduced me to the clarinet when I was 9 ... so it will be good to actually play it.

Wow - that is really hard! I had trouble even with a run that only ran for 7 measures or so. Probably why I ended up quitting =P

Thanks - I knew that musicians would see my panic!
