Yes I do! I know that working with a small group of people to accomplish a heady task is stressful and cumbersome. How tough is it when your skill level and input is directly related to how much money and/or fame the other members have? Can this still happen in this modern time?
Probably not. But it is worth a try!
Sign me up for a string quartet! I love the music (that is beside the point), but moreover I will love the process. Sure I have worked in various groups my entire life-- maybe none so polished-- but I am willing to let go of anything preconceived and sit down with some serious chamber music.
I know I can't hide behind a section in an orchestra. I know that what I play is almost less important than how I play it (I can't step on another's solo). I know there will be fights and eye rolls-- and I am honestly ready for criticism: Hey, I am always yelling at myself for things!
So, any takers? I promise long hours, little pay, and possibly a need for specialized formal wear. I also promise to take your picture during bouts of stress where your face may be contorted and look "alien" to you. You will have a net presence and once you do, you may have enemies. Overall though, I promise fun-- and somewhere Haydn will be smiling in your favor. Just make sure to catch up!
