Difficult Pieces?

[Thomas Erickson]

It's about playing well in your section, in your orchestra. That's not something that can be learned from a recording. Relying on someone else's recording to teach you how something should be played or what might be expected at your next rehearsal isn't a great idea - the whole point of playing music is that there's always going to be a a different interpretation, a different approach, etc. So when you don't know what you might encounter, why not approach it from an "unbiased" point until you know the specifics of your job?
