| Hey, Jeremy...
Thanks for asking, it went just dandily. Abbado is asking for some new, cool ways of approaching some things. The Promenade is very smooth and Goldenberg is fascinating!
He wants the Goldenberg to be really whining and crying. As a result, the style is more legato and there's a great variation in dynamics... different diminuendi and crescendi! I've never enjoyed playing it more, it's so different.
Anyway, have fun and bring a part with you to the show... you'll get a better idea of how different the things he's asking are.
Enjoy the show!
