#365positivity: 7/10: Mahler
Oh. My. God. Is it hard?! This morning I was looking over the music for Das klagende Lied by Mahler from last night's sightreading read-a-long and realizing all over again how tough last night had been. We spent three hours going over the three movements. The German was the least of the problems; the high B flats, the worst of the problems. And everything in between with the atonality and various Mahler-isms-he was not kind to singers-made for a challenging time. I sweated through it and came out of it feeling good. Four more rehearsals to go before the concert. Luckily, there's YouTube.
