Reply to comment by MainlyMozartSD in I'm concertmaster (principal violin) of New York's Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a professor at Juilliard. Next week, I'll be performing with the Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra in San Diego - the largest annual gathering of concertmasters and principal players in North America. AMA! by MainlyMozartSD

Thanks for the response.

How can one develop that winning sound as opposed to someone continually advancing to semis or finals without winning?

The playing has to cohere as a performance and not sound like one is just taking a test.

Remember, music happens between the notes. My mentor (who also taught at Jilliard) would take a lot of time communicating the ‘how’ of musicianship.
