It's difficult to remember when you haven't played it before.
Accelerando means in tempo. Don't rush.
Brass, stay down all summer.
We have to play it longer because there are no numbers or letters.
We do not know when he is coming. He is coming tomorrow.
If you don't have it in your part, leave it out, because there is enough missing already.
I can see none of you are smugglers; that's why it's so loud.
It's so legato it's difficult to splice. Sibelius was famous for that.
During the rests - pray.
There was confusion since I stood here 35 years ago.
Tonight I'm going to listen with my ears.
I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.
