He also served as the principal of the clarinet department in the orchestra.
It is very clear that the core of an orchestra is not who plays the best.
It's Harmony - the degree to which the sounds of various instruments blend together.
Quartet is more difficult than orchestra.
The first is because of the small number of people.
The second is because everyone is the focus.
No one said that the most important thing.
The main contradiction in the film is that Peter Parkinson is the trigger for the disharmony and competition within the band.
The first violin thinks he is always the leader of the band.
Quartet's direction and notation are not even willing to cite other members' versions.
The second violin thinks that Quartet is too rigid for so many years and wants to replace the first violin because he is a representative of the young and free playing style.
The most troublesome thing is that the four of them still have emotional entanglements.
That's why they can't play the essence of Beethoven: The Late String Quartets, Op. 131.
Robert once said that when Schubert was on his deathbed, he specifically asked a Quartet to play this seven-movement Op. 131 repeatedly before his sickbed.
What a grief this is.
So in the end, after Peter da Farewell and the new addition of Nina da at the concert, The Fugue felt this parting grief for the first time.
Even if you don't look at the score or play it with a straight face, you can express the essence of it.
Another digression.
There are only these four people on stage without any decoration.
It's as beautiful as a painting.
People who play musical instruments do not need a luxurious stage.
The musical notes have already decorated the stage magnificently.
I guess that's the magic of music.
