I caught her, my muse

Just like that, when I sat in place and took that horn into my hands, I caught her, my muse, and blew some beautiful sounds.

I also blew some not so beautiful sounds, but hey, that's part of the deal.

This Shostakovich is something else. It will be amazing to play. I only worked tonight on the first two movements, which is not a lot in terms of numbers of notes, but WOW, did he know how to put those notes together. I think it will just be an amazing piece to play. I am eager for the first rehearsal.

And I am reading alto clef so much more comfortably. This makes me very happy.

Hey Michelle, I created a profile of myself. I feel kind of weird doing this but I guess it's ok? How did the Shotakovich go? I bet you had a blast, no pun intended!

See you on the forum or you can email me at jonesbrass2@hotmail.com
