Miss Mussel - it was just a lament, a bit like better known one by Arianna, the general gist of what I was babbling on about is: “oh, thou, Very Hot Horn Player of the Orchestra del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, why, oh why didn’t you look at me, while both the other horn player, way less handsome than thou (actually he’s pretty ugly), and the bald bassoonist with a huge nose kept staring at me all the time?? Woe is me! Boo-hoo!” etc.

Giorgia–>Miss Mussel’s command of Italian is far too crap to read your article. She can guess the gist of it but could you paraphrase en anglais?

PS no one said the horn sounded like a beautiful human voice. Personally, Miss Mussel thinks it sounds like a horn, but nevermind.

Art music shouldn’t get off any better. Everyone wins if quality is high across the board. Miss Mussel is always left scratching her head when studios think they can get away with a poorly executed con, particularly because all they have to do is ask a musician/athlete for a bit of advice.

Films like Once, where both characters sing and play for reals are brilliant.

If it makes you feel any better, the athletic scenes in sports movies tend to be really bad from a realism sense. I don’t know why art music should get off any better.

Oh, yes. I was in fact just about thinking how that Very Hot Horn Player from the Orchestra del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma’s horn sounded soooooo very like human voice. Not.
