http://davidfinlayson.typepad.co ... gilbert-kaplan.html是个纽约爱乐的团员写的...下面评论的有一个是英国爱乐乐团的一个人回的,很有意思,尤其这一段:
A chapone day decided he'd like to play with an orchestra, but as he didn'tread music or play a musical instrument, he didn't hold out too muchhope. Despite this, he still approached his town orchestra for a chanceto join in. After explaining his lack of ability, the orchestrasecretary said "oh don't worry about that, we'll just give you a coupleof sticks and you can stand at the back." Still worried, the chap said"but what if I'm no good?" The secretary said "no problem... if that'sthe case, we'll give you one stick and you can stand at the front!"Please don't repeat this story to your percussionists, they may lose their sense of humour. I know this from experience!
哈哈.....
