Wait a second.
Something's not right!
I started counting once I stopped playing.
Why does something feel wrong?
Ugh...
That's it! I started counting my 1
the moment I stopped playing as it makes musical sense.
The end of the phrase coincides
with the beginning of the new musical phrase,
so natural music instinct makes us want to count from 1 here.
However, the music is published in a way
that the rest bar count begins on the first empty bar
where I don't play anything.
That means I should actually count 1
on the second bar of the musical 4-bar phrase.
Damn, I nearly fell for it!
But thankfully, with my high 180 IQ,
I'm able to make this realisation
while still maintaining a count.
So if I counted 11 bars, then I must minus 1 bar. (10, 2, 3, 4...)
Meaning I'm actually on bar 10. (10, 2, 3, 4...)
That way I won't come in 1 bar early. (11...)
Haha, I don't need to count!
I just follow my deskie cos I'm in the string section.
Hahaha...
You think you can sit next to me, and not count?
The orchestra is not a child's playground.
It's a battlefield.
The conductor said he'll give a cue here,
so I don't need to count.
Hahahahaha...
Oh, look at these peasants counting.
What a waste of effort. Hahaha...
There's even a viola solo cue written before my entry,
so I don't have to count.
I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the music.
Oh no...
What are they doing?
Are you serious?
Now I'm in trouble!
I may have missed my entry,
but I'll take you first violinists down with me!
- Hahaha... - Those...
