Haydn Quartet!
Our String Squad director is letting A.J., Rachel, Annie and me play Haydn's String Quartet No. 11. It's going to be really super great, as well as a challenge for all of us. I hope we can at least learn one movement well and get to play it at the next concert. All the movements are all relatively fast... well, there's no slow movement anyway. There's an Allegro, and Allegretto, and the Finale which is like... kind of fast. Allegro-ish I believe. I like the Finale because it stuck in my head and I played the beginning of it for my director when asking her if we could play it, as I'd completely forgotten what the piece was.
A.J. and I are the violins, Annie will play viola, and Rachel's the cellist, of course. (Yay for non-ugly cellist girls! Of which there are plenty, of course.) While we rehearse the quartet, the director will do a sectional with the remaining players. Bwahahahaha! We will possibly be the greatest String Ensemble ever in the universe. Bearable at least. I'm not missing the time when there used to only be five people, even though all five were competent. And... we need a bassist still. Blargh.
I've been practising. I have confidence in A.J. to practise as well, and Rachel I'm pretty sure can do it. Annie won't be able to take her part to her teacher, because her teacher won't let her play the viola because it will mess her up on the violin or something. I object to that; it's just as unreasonable as suspending students for making out after school but not as cruel as punishing one's wife by locking the wheels on her car.
Before I get off the subject, I think for now I shall agree with Armand's opinion that playing in a chamber group is more fun than playing in a friggin' youth orchestra. Especially with the state that OSYO and RIPYO are in right now, ugh!
And now to get off the subject, I have one thing to say, and it is that I am temporarily over the thing that made me sad. I am almost able to rationalise. By the way, math class is easy and everything we're doing is a repeat of the Algebra II/Trig class I took last year, which I really wish I could have skipped because I'm realising how pointless it was. It's my teacher's fault. Oh well, hopefully next year I won't have a lame Calculus teacher.
