Let The Music Do The Talking

While I was at the office and had to do some works, I was youtube-ing to keep my mood up and searching for Vanessa Mae (remember her?) and found her playing Bach's Partita. Then I start searching for the famous Bach's Partita music score (not for practice, just search it and want to see how does it looks like).

And it looks like this.

But that's not what I want to show you. I found a nice blog in Portuguese language and read a nice post about The Stereotype of Each Musician. It's fun, at least for me... Try read this and find which musician are you. Enjoy :)

Maestro - skinny guy, austere size. He dresses very well, love to use more comfortable clothes, but the image does not. Glasses is required. Bald (or almost). A normally boring guy, the one who is only invited to "choppinho of after the concert" by obligation. Look everyone up, but would love to be popular. His jokes are not funny at all, but everyone laughs. In short, is the violinist of the idol, but deep, deep, wonder trumpeter. Black or silver car of the year. 


Oboist -  All oboist wanted to be conductor, but shyness prevents. Always very reserved, you need to have everything under control. Perfectionist by nature. Thin fingers and hair always well aligned. It is always half an hour after the test, cleaning the instrument. Go to manicure, but it's a secret! His moment of glory is to give there to tune the orchestra. 

Violinist -  Alto, always with pint important. Love to be conductor, but finds a much lower than his talent position. It is considered the most important orchestra and everything that supports this thesis. Before the test, always touches parts of the Brahms concerto, to impress others violinists. When the conductor draws the attention of another suit, the violinist always gives a sarcastic smile, almost imperceptible. Out each test with the pride of "mission accomplished" and go home - a tiny apartment - where a mother photo is above the giant mirror in the room. 

Cellist -  It's a nice guy. A friend to all the time, but very gossipy. Knows the lives of all of the orchestra.Loves playing violin solos in harmonics just to annoy the violinists. Blonde, the cellist is more charming than beautiful. One thinks privileged to not have to get up at the end of the concert and is vain.

Violist -  is the pity of the orchestra. Introverted, looking sad. The conductor never calls her attention: after the viola part is not important even. Started in music with ambitious dreams of being a successful violinist, but for lack of talent or study switched to the viola and, since then, is a frustrated. Together with the accompanying pianist, is a potential suicide, but without the courage to act. Loads always worn case with the viola and always responds with a wry smile the question "do you play the violin?". A secret: all violist has a good heart, but no one notices. 

Bass -  Shorty and temperamental. Chose the double bass for "command respect", but the plan backfired.Studies only in the tests, unless you have to play a baroque piece, which is the one to play the bass. Think is important for sustaining the whole orchestra, but actually knows that no one hears it. Always with white shirt and short hair electric bass Plays secretly. 

Guitarist - The best friend of everyone. Company perfect for choppinho afternoon. Ponytail and sunglasses are prerequisites. Relaxed and "eclectic" but hates being called a guitarist. Has several friends and several girlfriends. Swears that play a classical instrument, but does not hesitate to accept to "cache" in bossa nova bar. Old or bike Passat.

Pianist Accompanist - Looking crestfallen, black suit and battered. Brown and tousled hair. Loads always a little folder with music. Hate singers, after "Do not know how to count." Low self-esteem, is a potential suicide. Swears he'll never accept playing "just in time", but always accept an emergency. He lives with the hope that someone finally recognize their hard work - which never happens.

Pianist Soloist -  short black hair. Always busy because it needs "study". Never goes to parties, and, when it appears, comes alone and leaves early. When we look in his eyes, we never know what is going through your head. Have a nice chat, but is alienated for extramusical issues. Adora compare recordings of other pianists. There's always one or two singers in love with him, but is always too busy for relationships.Admired by violinists, think playing chamber music a waste of time. 

Organist -  completely disheveled hair, unshaven. Always running from one place to another, carrying dozens of scores out of order. He lives in a world apart. Glasses only for reading. Crumpled and shabby clothes. An unsuspecting say it's a chemistry teacher or a misunderstood genius. Hate pianists. Lonely but talks a blue streak when it comes to fingering or relaying of the Renaissance. "God is Buxtehude, Bach has been prostituted by pianists".

Harper -  woman, thin, white and well, with disheveled hair. Very shy, is never seen going in or out of the tests, but is always there. Always use long dresses and a half "out of fashion", but has a friendly smile.Your car has several stickers with harps everywhere. Love chat rooms. No one knows her boyfriend, but he's always around to put the harp in the car after the concert.

Trombonist -  brown hair and a bit overweight. Always with a joke at his fingertips, trombonist love BBQ and the company of friends Adora Mahler, Beethoven think a little slow and is terrified of Ravel's Bolero. Has at least one dog at home and whenever he can put a glissando just to "give a special touch." 

Trumpeter -  Adora out for a beer with friends. Is always late in the trial, but no one notices. Barbecues are always in your home. If the teacher is not present, is always playing the highest note possible to display.Have chapped lips and uses this to flirt. You are always walking backstage doing "prrrrrrrrrft" with your nipple.

Soprano - Gorda and stumbled across are not polite adjectives to characterize a soprano. They are physically well-endowed and temperamental. They have to be the center of attention - on stage and off stage. Are envied by the altos and love it. Are excellent lovers, bad wives. They dress in bright clothes, love hats. Prefer champagne to wine and can not read sheet music: after all learn everything with the "wonderful heard that God gave him." Are always accompanied by his favorite pianist-accompanist, they call the "maestro".

Tenor - Well-looking, young, beautiful, charming and gay. Always walk with modern and trendy clothes.Has several friends and always want to "live in the moment." Always try to look happy and at peace with life, but if you are in a bad mood, wishes to announce to everyone. It does not take ice cream, because it has to "preserve the voice," but always talk loudly to be heard across the bar. Mesh regularly goes to the hairdresser and flirts with whom pass in front. 

Contralto -  Morena and very high. Not very pretty, but dresses well. Do not like sopranos, but his "best friend" is one. She loves flowers and uses a strong scent, but nice. Half awkward when walking. Hate salads, but is always taking care of weight.

Low - High, black hair and stocky. No one knows what is going on in the head of a low - if there is something behind that look lost. A little slow, to be honest. He always wants to help others, even if it hinders his personal life. Your socks never match, but loves to role of "well dressed villain" in operas. Open mouth eating.

Bassoonist -  Slim, curly hair. It is the typical normal subject. Curious by nature. Always friendly and helpful. It is also very mysterious: no one ever came to the house of a bassoonist. Only the other blows know his name. Long and thin fingers hands. Remember Sherlock Holmes in the walk. 

Tuba Player -  Subject overweight, blond and curly hair. Oily skin and red cheeks, her like a pig when it touches. Laughs at everything, but rarely understand a joke. Likes to eat a lot and has no girlfriend.

Piper - is the violinist of the woods, but not so stuck. It perfectionist, but knows that the world is not perfect.Loves Debussy and spend hours listening to your own recordings. Nosy, has a hunch up in fingering the horn player. He lives in a world apart and takes care of the flute as his daughter. It is the only one who does not think the sound of the piccolo annoying.

Clarinetist - is a funny guy. He dresses well, but is not vain. Can be blonde or brunette. Plays with the eyebrows and is smarter than smart. Loves getting sucking the blade until it touches, but if out of tune, playing pick out. Can not stand to touch the top of Rapsody in Blue for the other musicians backstage.

Percussionist -  Slim with long arms, percussionist boasts of touch "over 20 different instruments" and "take music anywhere," but for some incomprehensible reason, always comes at the wrong time - "the orchestra fault that is dragging the time "he says. Plays drums in a hidden garage band and think Ravel's Bolero a chaeação, but is always nervous before presenting it. In the tests is always the first to go home and concerts always the last and is still grumbling about having to "dismantle" the "equipment". A nice guy who thinks any classical symphony "easy cache" and vows that there is a special technique of playing triangle. 

Horn Player -  A discreet man. Does not talk much. Have trauma fails notes, so it is always disassembling the instrument to take the "water" during the concert. The part of the stage around your chair is always wet.It is always the last to tune the instrument before the conductor in, and from time to time, still plays a "Fazinho" during the applause just to check. Is always looking for the bassoonist to know the right time to go: after all can not count more than 20 pause bars. Never complains when they call his attention, but is almost certain to make obscene gestures with the hand that is hidden in the instrument. Has nightmares before presentations with piano concerto by Tchaikovsky.
