In need of good copies
Last night I had my first rehearsal with the NYCO. Everything went well until we had to play; sarcasm intended. We received music for Beethoven's 5th, but the copy we had to play from was completely illegible. It didn't have any markings on the different movements and a good number of notes were cut off. It was quite frustrating but, it helped develop a much needed skill. Patience. Apparently, my feelings if ineptitued were shared with many others in the orchestra because most players were having the same difficulties as I. Hopefully, this is the worst it gets.
