Is it like learning the rules?

Yeah, exactly.

Learning the rules.

What is a concerto as opposed to a ballet, as opposed to a symphony?

And you listen to Prokofiev's work or Shostakovich's work or Stravinsky's work, and you go, I get it.

When Stravinsky, when he's writing a ballet, it's very melodic.

And it's going to do this, and there's a series of melodies, and it can tumble from this to this to this to this to this.

But when it's a symphony, now it can get heavy, it can get dense, it can get dissonant.

You can approach it a different way.

When it's a concerto, it's a real crowd-pleasing piece.

It's written for...

a violinist or a pianist.

Is it their version of like a single?

Yeah.

It's like the idea is to make them shine, make an audience jump to their feet.

Okay.

And it's like, it's a whole different mindset.

And I kind of listened and tried to soak that up and learn.

Oh, it was daunting in the extreme.

But fortunately, I had this part in me of like, everybody will hate it.
