from the forum on www.bandfusion.sg
"human reaction time. If you listen and wait for people to come in, its too late already.
you might feel that you're on time from where u are. but from the audience its very obvious.
ever going to a concert where the band has poor rhythms and late entries?
the band doesnt know they're doing it. chances are that the director dont know why."
another one.
"one should conciously subdivide as a start, and after a while it will become natural...then it is easier to play accurately without changing tempo(rushing or laggging)...it also makes it easier to play subdivided notes at times of tempo changes (rubato, rit, accel.)"
another one
"Subdivision is not just for the rhythm.
It's for the accuracy and consistency of tempo, breathmarks, ensemble skills, etc."
subdivision is impt. pleasepleaseplease
COUNT! subdivide and come in correctly. we have quite alot of off-beat entrances, so subdividing is very impt. to the judges, these late or early entrances are
very obvious. even if its made by only one person. and subdivide so that we can stay with the tempo.
dont rush or slow down whenever you like. and please
subdivide on your own. dont depend on your stand partner to do it for you. if you follow others, by the time you come in, it will alr be a split second late. like for
overture at bar 108-111, you
need to subdivide. and
danse at bar 171, 180 too.
dynamics too. crescendo nicely, same for decrescendo. when it is suppose to be piano, then please follow. forte then play loud. remember to follow. try to
maintain a nice tone and
dont scream. especially when playing those high notes. like
danse at bar 54.
PIANO! bar 171, 180 too. and those
minims in overture. (eg. bar 37, 39) play soft when required.
articulations.
overture bar 10, 14, 48, 82, 102. slur only the first 2 and the fifth&sixth notes. dont join the second note to the third note. all the
staccato and slurs in danse must have difference. dont slur when not suppose to.
9 more days left. (since its alr like 2315, on my computer) this will be our only SYF together as clarinets'09. make this good, memorable. we'll go up there, on stage, and do our very best. and leave the stage with
no regrets. okay? few more days left, lets go all out and work hard. jiayou! (:
