Maybe someone can interpret this in stock terms....
i don't think so... but... i'll try because i'm foolish and can handle failure and rejection.
Golden Rules For Ensemble Playing
by J. W. Swing
1. Everyone should play the same piece.
QCOM
2. Stop at every repeat sign and discuss in detail whether to take the repeat or not. The audience will love this a lot!
what goes up must come down and then go back up.
3. If you play a wrong note, give a nasty look to one of your partners.
if jimtankerous disagrees with voltman, ask ruff
4. Keep your fingering chart handy. You can always catch up with the others.
buying the Q at 200 is not a bad move when we all know it will be at 250 by july
5. Carefully tune your instrument before playing. That way you can play out of tune all night with a clear conscience.
do your own DD and to hell with jw, volt and ruff
6. Take your time turning pages.
don't let go of the Q for a baby gorilla till Q has had it's run. i.e., 2010
7. The right note at the wrong time is a wrong note (and vice-versa).
don't buy at an all-time high or sell on a big freakin' dip
8. If everyone gets lost except you, follow those who get lost.
misery loves company
9. Strive to get the maximum NPS (note per second). That way you gain the admiration of the incompetent.
buy calls and leaps when all about you are buying common
10. Markings for slurs, dynamics and ornaments should not be observed. They are only there to embellish the score.
Ignore TA except for hindsight
11. If a passage is difficult, slow down. If it's easy, speed it up. Everything will work itself out in the end.
buy what QCOM you can as you have the dinero
12. If you are completely lost, stop everyone and say, "I think we should tune."
if you get suspended from SI go to the yahoo boards
13. Happy are those who have not perfect pitch, for the kingdom of music is theirs.
just buy some stock and hold it for five years - chances are you'll make money
14. If the ensemble has to stop because of you, explain in detail why you got lost. Everyone will be very interested.
if the serious QCOM threads are too stressful, get yer @ss over to voltaire's porch!
15. A true interpretation is realized when there remains not one note of the original.
when QCOM's patents expire, look for another gorilla
16. When everyone else has finished playing, you should not play any notes you have left.
when the fat lady sings, the party's over
17. A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.
maria bartiromo is always giving her interpretation of a wrong note
