@Bigthingreg Sorry for the nerds! I'm always ready to be corrected :)

[Bigthingreg]

@Mattegsels I used to be a chorister Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford...and without talking myself and the choir up too much the Wohins aren't THAT hard. Also don't call the kids nerds.

[Mattegsels]

These young nerds seem to get the "wohins" right! This aria is so bloody hard to sing even for the choir. Our conductor didn't even bother about the right notes, he was just glad when they came at about the right time.

@cirocastro yeah, one year later will start his Klemperer periode :)

I wrote a music test today about this, just crazy for analyzing it within 1,5 hours... but a good piece of music!

[fagottist]

yes...you see one and hear the other

[NedNefarious]

lol, the kid behind the soloist at 3:15-3:25 is feelin' it.

[tommieboy1657]

I think he's doing well for his age, but he should get him a bigger copy, I think XD

[opernair]

Agreed. I also miss good intonation...
