| I had that experience recently. I play mainly Big Band and Pop/soul stuff and someone asked me to do a Classical concert on 1st trumpet. I said I don't normally play that kind of stuff (ever) but they were desperate so I agreed. When I turned up the music was full of transposing which is definately not my forte and I had never even heard of the composers let alone the pieces!!! The guy sitting next to me was in his last year in college and sounded great so I asked him if he would swap parts. He was happy and played it far better than I would have done. |
