Brandenburg Blues
This year's chamber music class is working on the Brandenburg 4 -- the one with the recorders. Hubby heard wind of this and decided to join. He bought a plastic Aulos alto 700 recorder and started practicing in December. He hasn't played since he was a teen but after a few fits over some high notes he was off and running. This week, a real cellist showed up (one who has been playing for many years) and since he was such a strong player, I was moved off . The class also had a guest professional violinist play the first part and the group sounded really good -- without me.

Das ist schade. And it doesn't seem fair that you got completely bumped if it is a class project. My philosphy is to practice the part, anyway - you never know when the understudy might be called upon.
Yes, I figured I should study the part anyway. There is a clarinet left out of the Brandenburg group as well, so the chamber music teacher asked me to work on a piece with him.
