Welcome to my Manila site!
(I do understand why it might be done in the language of "the people", and we do speak English around here, but still I really miss the sounds of German. As I'm listening now I'm reminded of what fun it can be to play. It's still not my favorite Mozart but, believe me, I'm quite happy to play it!

Why is this though? How has something so joyful and peaceful become so painful, destructive and unpleasant? It's not that things have gotten easier—in many ways things are more difficult now as I get pickier all the time and realize that even the most simple music is very hard in some ways.

We've done the Donizetti twice, but it's been quite some time since both of those runs—or so it seems—so I don't remember much aside from the huge flute solo (how Isabelle will do that with barely being able to hear, and not being able to see the soprano at all, I haven't a clue!).

I had an Opera San José rehearsal today for La Traviata. I realize that's OSJ's way of avoiding hiring more musicians, but the poor folks are playing non-stop for a good long time, and are now told that they are playing too loudly.

I had intended to use the oboe as the main melody instrument, but since I was so eager to try the structural idea, and since the oboe takes 15-20 minutes to "start up", I went for the low whistle instead. Sure, I have to warm up, but it can go pretty quickly if I really have to make it happen.
