Hi Manny-

Back to subbing with the same orchestra and another question popped into my head:

We are playing a two trumpet Mendelssohn work and I'm on second. Not knowing exactly the principal's preference for balance, would you try to play equal to him until told to do otherwise? As you know everything is in octaves or unison.

Also, just wanted to plug the Orchestra Musician's CD ROM collection. I pulled the part off of one of my CD's (I bought the whole set) and brought it today. It turned out that they had misplaced the part, and so I was really glad to have my copy. These CD's save the day sometimes!

Thanks as always!
