Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

That said, imagine what it must be like handling a cello, or a six-figure European violin in tow.

This New York Times article on orchestra tours certainly puts it in perspective.
