The entire piece suddenly made sense when the harpist explained her interpretation of the story of Butterfly Lovers... Every phase of the music tells a story... and it's really interesting coz you can really illustrate the scenes in your head while playing the music...
When the erhu player came in at figure 3... my hair stood up all of a sudden... The erhu represented Ying Tai's pain... it was REALLY REALLY sad... I was looking for the expression of other players and of course... trying to catch sight of any "goosebumps" in their arms... Haha...
Seriously, I've never played a band piece that made me so emotional before... Felt the pain of Ying Tai and Shan Bo... Really feel for the piece...
Am really exhausted from Saturday's 10 hours of practice and Sunday's 7 hours of practice... Cut my gum + stupid ulcers... Arghh... Luckily my lips didn't bleed from long hours of practice...
*Side note to Tim* I will never forget that Saturday night... Arghhh... Thanks eh...
