Working with a new mouthpiece this week-end before Thanksgiving
So far, so good, with the new mouthpiece I ordered recently from Wichita Band Instrument Company. Found out about it on FB last week and then was worried it wouldn't arrive before I need it.
More later! Have to practice and then catch the Cowboys (dem boys) on TV.

From the San Antonio Symphony website
MENDELSSOHN VIOLIN CONCERTO |
 |
| November 22, 2013 to November 23, 2013 |
November 22 & 23, 2013 | Majestic Theatre / 8:00 pm
Cristian Măcelaru, conductor | Philippe Quint, violin
American violinist Philippe Quint gives sparkle and polish to each note of Mendelssohn’s immortally vibrant Violin Concerto on a program that also features a luscious arrangement for orchestra of Brahms’s Piano Quartet in G minor that abounds with memorable melodies. Bach’s Ricercare from Musical Offering, with its dialogue of overlapping voices, creates a brilliant and complex musical structure, and brings the inventive genius of Bach to the forefront.
Bach, arr. Webern Ricercare from Musical Offering
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto
Brahms, arr. Schoenberg Piano Quartet in G minor
