Cultural Cringe

I am a fucking pathetic, fucking-cunt zero. Sunday I went and saw the Australian Chamber Orchestra for which I have a yearly subscription. They played with the awesome Finish violinist Pekka Kuusisto and knocked out some fun Bach tunes along with some Finnish classical folk music.

During a rather quick section, where the violinist and violist were pulling and pushing the bows very quickly I thought how the technique of one particular player would lend itself to the giving of a great handjob. Fucking ridiculously shameful.

It just popped into my mind but I then found myself analyzing the grip and velocity of each of the players bow work, thinking, "that one would be better than that one. Oh, he is quick...". I didn't want to think these thoughts. I didn't plan it. I didn't find it erotic. But that was the connection my mind made - from Bach's Violin Concerto No. 2 in E to Nat's Organ Sonata in HJ. I had to really concentrate and focus to get back to thinking about the music. I'm sorry ACO.

Were there any woodwind or brass players?

Natasha said...

Or just the usual horns?

I'm going to the symphony on Sunday. I'd better take a change of pants.

hey! no horns, brass or woodwind. That's right, nobody was blowing anything.
Jo, you may want to take two pairs of pants to the symphony - there is something about how a person holds a french horn that is bound to get a girl thinking.
i feel dirty.

It's more the cello-between-the-legs thing that gets me. Mmmm, pizzicato....

PS: my word verification word is "flamm", which isn't helping either.
