Strauss Pizzicato Polka, 1996 conductor Paul Mauffray

this was the encore in a concert of the "Kammerphilharmonie der Nationen" in Wolfsburg, Germany in 1996. The "Chamber Philharmonic of the Nations" was made up of students from 13 different countries, and we performed on a tour of many different German cities. If you listen closely at the beginning, you will hear that just when I gave the downbeat, a police car or ambulance was heard in the distance! Thus, I hesitated a bit and glanced over my shoulder. It just made it even a bit more fun :-)

Aww, that's the way Pizzicato polka should be played and conducted! :) I love this piece, I play it in a cello quartet, it's so much fun. :)
