I Actually Stood Up For Myself ...

debris4spike.... Yes, the first time ever!
I did it - I truly did!
Tonight was the first run-through on the Kackachurian Violin Concerto for the concert next year. This is the piece I posted the picture of - the 1st clarinet part is horrific and is noted that it is the 2nd most important part .... and for those who play a clarinet, let me tell you it is mostly written in flats (as repetative accidentals!). Anyway, my home rehearsal had gone badly, so I didn't look at it too much ... but this evening wasn't as big a disaster as I was dreading. So I was feeling OK .. we have a year, it will be fine.
Anyway the other pice of music we are going to play is Peter & The Wolf .... another hard piece to play, which I attempted about 7 years ago, and being that it is the first piece of Classical music I heard, and thus the one that got me interested in the clarinet, I am looking forward to the work of getting that piece round my fingers.
Anyway, I am coming to the point - as we were leaving the 2nd clarinetist said she hoped I didn't mind if she did the Peter & The Wolf, seeing as I was doing the Violin concerto 1st part ... I said she could do that and I would do Peter - "No", she wanted to do Peter ... and ...
GULP
I said, I was going to play it - I was looking forward to doing it.
So - I actually stood up for myself!!!!!!!
Now - do I mention this to the conductor if I see him outside of rehearsals? Should I e-mail him ... or just let it lie at that?
But - I say again - I DID IT!!!

Now what to do.... I guess I would let it rest and only address the matter if it comes up again.
Otherwise it might be mistaken for going behind the other lady's back. Not sure how close you two are, so... just saying.

Hope things turn out well and without any nasty fights.

Date: 2009-03-23 10:23 pm (UTC)As I had just typed to Sway I had probably decided to just let things drift. She and I aren't close friends - she gives me a huge inferiority complex!

Have fun!

Date: 2009-03-24 08:22 am (UTC)You have every right to live up to the challenge and play it!
Just keep on practising and you'll master that piece perfectly. :)
