Idk, a musician wants to complete their performance. Maybe they won't be embarrassed, but they'll certainly be angry

[@MissCaraMint]

@_Ali_ Just as we flutists check that all our screws are screwed in properly before a concert. Had my instrument fall apart on me in the middle of a concert before. Not fun. All because I didn't check that the screws were secure. You don't make that mistake again. Well you might, but it's not as important then. The screws on a flute only really act up and unscrew themselves when it's a new instrument. After it's unscrewed itself and been screwed back in once you're usually golden, but you should always check. Also always carry a miniature screwdriver for your instrument just in case.

[@archivebeetlejuicelocklear7758]

_Ali_ i think sometimes the problem comes down to bad habits picked up from when they started playing. i know that the orchestra program in my school never taught about proper cleaning or when to replace strings. years later i find myself wishing they had taught me because of the permanent rosin residue on my violins from when i didnt know to clean it.

[@Szymon1090]

Allsmiles29 CP in fact, it is ;P

[@DocsDota]

Because most people who are page turners are people who doesn't know how to read music! Also they happen to not get paid enough to be at enough rehearsals for them to know when to do it. There needs to be a button under the pianist's seat that they can press with their left foot to shock the page tuner to fucking turn the page if they dont do it fast enough.

[@Jeandals]

DocsDota That would be a good idea, but at the same time wouldn't it be too much to focus on for the pianist?

[@DocsDota]

probably not, it's the same as nodding, which is SUPPOSE to indicate them, but sometimes the page turners didn't get it from all the expressiveness coming out of the piano player...

[@HolzMichel]

sounds like the neighbor kid torturing his cats....

[@All4Grogg]

I believe her sound post had fallen. Somewhat difficult to explain, if you are unfamiliar with how violins are constructed you may need to Google a diagram. Basically violins work by transferring the string vibrations though the bridge (the light colored wooden part that holds the strings up) through a wooden dowel (sound post) inside the body of the violin to the underside. Which produces the sound. This dowel isn't glued in place, it is held securely in place by the pressure of strings against the bridge. This is also why a violinist always changes strings one at a time. If I had to guess, judging by the sheer amount of rosin caked on her instrument, her ability to play her violin is absurdly beyond her ability to property maintain it. Or it was badly, very badly mishandled.

I once forgot to turn in the middle of a second movement, got distracted by the pianist’s beautiful playing. Air turn is good. The timing to turn is different with different pianists. Some have the following measures memorized while others prefer you turn a little bit early. It is also different in fast music than in slow music. 😂

[@Shinny248]

Teufel Hunden when playing a violin, you HAVE to have good balance or posture. Especially if you’re standing up, a dress like that could make you fall. The long skirt part is of the dress is what makes it more compatible with a piano than a violin

[@MissCaraMint]

I would say it's fine to have a long dress like that if you are wearing flat shoes. I was actually told never to wear heals and play flute. I guess you could argue that wearing a dress like that necessitates heels. Still I think I stand by that it's not the dress but the footwear that is most important.
