Most challenging piece
So recently my sax studio received a piece that we have to be able to play together by March, 2014. The piece is Mendelsohnn's Presto Octet, and I have to say it is absolutely the hardest piece that I have ever played before. Although its an octet we have ten people playing: four altos, two sopranos, two baritone saxes, and two tenors. The piece fetures very challenging rythems and there even altissomo notes that I need to be able to play. Still, even though its a difficult piece I'm sure that I'll be able to learn it through lots of practice.

I have the same problem as you man. I have a quartet with 2 trombones and 1 baritone. It's all the freshman kids in the studio performing for all the classes. I feel like a nervous wreck. I will for sure be coming to y'alls performance!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It sounds challenging, but I'm sure that you guys will meet your expectations.
