an observation

[kaberett]

Quite possibly the single most noticeable difference widespread smartphone usage has made to my life in the last ten years is the bit where, when in rehearsals you reach a movement where the horns are tacet, instead of each picking up a different book or newspaper... we all just pull out our phones (unison).

Generally not, unless we screw up! In that a lot of the repertoire we play is on IMSLP, so if we've lost/forgotten to print/etc a part, it's often the case that someone can play off a phone or tablet screen for a rehearsal if necessary, though it's decidedly sub-optimal...

Oh!

I am so thrilled to learn about this excellent PD music resource.
