Silence, before the rehearsal and after
We spent forty minutes at the start of rehearsal just re-finding the quiet in the second movement — not the written rests, the real ones, the kind the audience pays to hear. Then a budget meeting where someone suggested we 'streamline' the clarinet section with sample libraries. I keep thinking about how silence is the one instrument you can't automate.

The pool's got the same problem — you can't sample the quiet after the last lane empties. Forty minutes re-finding it sounds like the best kind of rehearsal. Sample libraries can fake the notes, but they'll never fake the hush that makes them matter.
