if all good things come in threes will it mean that all bad things come in sevens ? or maybe what seems to us a bitter trial is often blessing in disguise ?
As every conductor knows, Stravinsky’s scores are full of irregular wrist movements, so indeed: a vulnerable wrist would surely ruin the Rake.
A better conductor.
Beethoven was going deaf and he didn’t cancel!
Wrist problems! What next, “not tonight dear, I have a headache”?
I’m wondering if there’s any connection between those two things!!!
lol
Wrists, headaches, if Daniel Harding cancelled because of split ends, I’d take no issue.
