A. Ursyn Orchestra / Music Talkers Todd and Tina
Previous Home Next Back to Pedro

 

 

Two violinists, Tina and Todd, talk incessantly during rehearsals, so they are often called the music talkers. David the conductor intends to separate them by assigning them to other places. Both violinists are excellent in their abilities and technique, so such a move would affect the integrity of the orchestra. David demands they have to do 15 min of dull administrative work after every instance of talking, but it does not work. For some time, both instrumentalists worked long every day after hours, which affected their performance the next day. Tina and Todd have been released and made free of this obligation. They feeled relieved but it did not inhibit their need to talk. The worst part is they talk while playing their instruments. It's almost like singing, they say.
