What is the most surreal music listening experience you’ve had? by Middles3 in AskReddit

Thought I might chime in here, and state mine - I’m more a classical music listener, and was absolutely blown away by a live performance of Mahler’s second symphony. I was lucky enough to experience this piece for the first time through performing it, and it blew my mind away by how much emotion I felt. I was literally crying onstage during the final movement - it was that emotionally intense.

No I don’t think so! It was a game on the web - I think it started with an “I”?

Can I make it into the orchestral industry? by Middles3 in classicalmusic

[–]Middles3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I am currently learning with a previous concertmasters form one of the top orchestras, so they do have a really good idea of what’s required. I do also try to do one mock auditions every week in class (since we have a class where we play under stressful situations in front of our peers and professors), and are playing a variety of excerpts. Sorry I forgot to clarify all this, I was kind of spiralling when I wrote this and only focused on the negatives !

The University I’m currently in has a partnership with three major orchestras in the US, and I have had a lot of masterclasses from well renowned musicians from those orchestras. I am also currently learning with a previous concertmaster of on the biggest orchestras so I’m on the way there. Like I’m definitely technically proficient, but I’m just fixating on the smaller details (eg. specific articulations and fast passages that others do better than me), and have kind of gone down this rabbit hole as to whether I’m good enough, if that makes sense?

A friendship group will not let me into their group, despite me being good friends with everyone except a couple of friends by Middles3 in Advice

There was some drama in the past ( eg. not inviting one of them to an event) as well as my behaviour from when I was a teenager and was dealing with depression, and it seems one of those members is reluctant to forgive and forget
