Last night's concert was interesting. This was not the Nutcracker performances I have posted about, but another orchestra. We played at a community center. Lousy acoustics, but that is nothing new. My tone was really weird sounding...harsh and brittle. This made me question myself and play even worse. 
At intermission, one of the other horn players suggested that we move our row to fill in some of the gaps in the row in front of us, since some of the violas were a no-show.
The difference was like night and day. I had been playing into a wall and glass panel and the way the sound bounced back was not pretty, although it wouldn't have mattered as much by the time the sound made it to the audience. Still, once we moved, it was kind of like the Popeye/spinach thing as far as my playing went. I'm sure someone could write a huge devotional about how if we do the same things, but with just a teeny bit of tweaking, that could be the difference between something disastrous and something beautiful.
