It seems only appropriate to title this post in Italian, as Italians do indeed use the phrase listed above.
I’m hard-at-work these days, keeping my main wheel going (tenure-track position at a University), along with addressing different “spokes” of this wheel. I’m preparing the chorus (for my first time) of Opera Southwest’s production of Tancredi (you can purhcase tickets here).
The task ahead of us as a team is to prepare a little-known masterpiece of Rossini for four performances in late October. Within the preparation process, and really the most fun part, is working on details.
For example, there are plenty of dynamic markings in parenthesis in the score.

Which usually means that an important, past edition has the markings, but the current editor isn’t sure 100% if the dynamics or instructions are accurate enough.
I am so proud of the work we are doing together.
