but I had fun today anyway...we started practice in my Sunday group and had 4 people - violin, viola, and 2 cellos, and a quartet that we're planning to play at our next gig. I volunteered to try playing the violin II part since my teacher has wanted me to practice playing up high on the cello. It was a blast pretending to be a violin! My cello sounds wonderful - clear and full even really really high up (got up to the f 2 octaves above middle c - high for violins too!) and it blended well with the others.
then I got back to being a cello - we're rehearsing the Mendelssohn Octet - really fun to play and very challenging - we have just over a month left to get it ready for our next gig...
