Which one?

Super-speedy update in honor of Amy:Why is it that I've known for five years of orchestral playing that the lower octave should always be stronger than the higher one, and that I only tried the bright idea of applying this to my solo playing the other day?
The CIM orchestra violin section is out of control! Too many cell phones. I think we should end all our phrases up bow! Seriously, I'm really excited for the concert tonight, mostly because I would give my life for Brahms 3, or any Brahms symphony. I think they do a lot of good in the world.
It's totally crunch time now: concert coming up, plus school concerto competition a week before that, plus fun weeding-out prelims a week before that which would be next week. Provided that the awkwardness of the third movement doesn't kill me, I shall now proceed to work on the half of the cadenza that I have thus far been faking. Good times!
