January 12, 2007 at 9:39 PM

In 5 orchestra’s I played last half year this repertoire, which is easy for myself to look back to after some time, to put on my weblog, because after 2 years I forgot what I have played:

Shostakovitsj, 9th symfony
Mozart, Zauberflote ouverture,

Sunday I will play with my thursdayorchestra the 3th violinconcerto of Mozart and Zigeunerweise von de Sarasate for the anniversary of an 75 old viola-player of that orchestra, Leiden Sinfonietta (this is my only orchestra in which I play 1th violin, the other 2th violin). His son, a prominent national competition winner violinist and conductor, Johannes Leertouwer, will be the soloist. His website: http://www.johannesleertouwer.nl/E/Eindex.htm
