Twins and Showers
Ah, April has returned! I was worried about the new climate and the lack of a cool spring to help the water supply, but the weather has just got a bit cooler, and it even rained a little bit. A light sprinkling of rain is, of course, known as AN APRIL SHOWER. Would there be much point having April without the showers? Well, it wouldn't be the same April, anyway.
Also, I have recently accompanied a set of twins in a piece by Bruch (Concerto for clarinet and viola, or violin and viola, Op. 88). What is good about this is that, when rehearsing with normal people, they say "can we go from three before Figure 5?"..."Er, five, five, yes I've got it. OK". With twins, however the conversation goes more like "How about...your bit..." ..."OK" and psychic communication has taken the place of not knowing where we are. I, of course, not being one of a set of three twins, have to know where we are going from! Somehow.
I was imagining what a good idea it would be to have an ensemble made up of twins. How well they would all play together! But it was pointed out to me that it might be a bit scary. Oh well. What about triplets, is that a better idea?
