so after school i was practicing my solo, scherzino.
and it was a high school - tutor session thing, but nobody showed up so they sent the soloists to practice on their own.
i needed to work on not clipping the notes at the end of each phrase (according to john hmph) but i just kinda ditched that and practiced the slow part and counting in one instead of three.
i was playing normally when i got 0:57 (in the video go listen to it now or else you won't understand the rest of the this chapter).
and some trumpet player responded to me. i looked around and there was no one, only a couple french horns that i could barley hear.
i play the phrase again, confused. and someone still played those two notes as if it were a call and response.
i play the two notes again, just to make sure.
and indeed, they did it one more time.
i just kind of laughed and continued playing the whole phrase, and then i hear a grunt as the trumpet player dropped his music.
i squint my eyes and i read the title:
concert aria for trumpet, cornet, or baritone.
in my head i'm thinking,
holy shoot, that's johns solo.
wait a second hOLY SHOOT ITS JOHN'S
SO—
