It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Orchestral Players -- 2 Questions

Yes, learsfool, I fully understand and agree with your paras 1, 2, and 4 (except that re para 4, I had not considered that cutting and pasting movements would be simple and thus frequently resorted to). I agree with para 3 too, except the result -- as mentioned elsewhere, perhaps a coincidence of the concert performances the Concertgebouwe selected for streaming during the past 2 weeks -- was such as to suggest sloppy conductors (there were at least 3 different conductors -- Haitink, Janssons, and Fischer) or a poorly prepared orchestra; hence my question about rehearsal time.

By the way, I did not intend my enquiry to be an attack; merely, I was surprised. Though I am used to soloists making errors, I guess I have learned to expect less of that, over the decades, from polished orchestras led by polished conductors playing well or even over-polished pieces.

Many thanks for your help.
