Hi everyone,
Thanks for a solid read-through of most of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 on Sunday 11/17, as well as a great first pass at Frazar Henry’s Seas of Glass. Below is our rehearsal plan for Sunday 11/24, plus a link to our friend Richard Kolbell’s photos from our 11/10 concert.
Rehearsal Plan for Sunday, November 24
- 4:00pm-5:00pm – Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 2 – finish reading the 3rd movement, from reh #34 to the end. PLEASE PRACTICE THE SECTION that starts at #34. Metronome goal is half note = 126.
- 5:00pm-5:30pm – Weber, Clarinet Concerto No. 2 (movement 3) – no soloist
- 5:30pm-5:45pm – break
- 5:45pm-7:00pm – Dvořák, Violin Concerto (movement 3) – no soloist
Add bar numbers to EVERYTHING (and your name too)
Please make it a habit to write your name on each of your parts, and add measure numbers at the beginning of each line. This is good for everything you play, ever, now and forever 🙂
Bonus: this post with reference measure numbers for Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2.

No rehearsal on December 1
We have Thanksgiving weekend off. But please do practice! Remember this is a shorter concert term compared to our other 3 concerts, and we have a long break for the holidays. Individual preparation is key.
Happy practicing,
Dr. G.
