Best and I’m looking forward to discussing this with you, Who says early January is boring?
EC | Manny,
I thought that it may be quite interesting for all the TM community if you and Wilmer join this EC thread. Though the requirements for most of the orchestral excerpts and solo pieces may be similar for all three of you I think that you may have complementary (not competition like) insights. As we were told already in a thread it is not recommendable to post same post in all resident Artist forums especially when the thread was started by Ed...Do you mind to drop in? Should I sent a note to Wilmer?
