To boot , this was totally in the style where the 1st violins play all the quivery high - pitched stuff that you never really listen to ( the melody is carried by the brass ) , but are unbelievably difficult to play . This is easily the hardest musical task I ' ve ever faced , and I have a month to get this down . Perhaps to escape from the horrors of this kind of pressure ( although probably more to enjoy cheap food ) , a couple of my friends from orchestra got together at the pub afterwards , and I went along . It was wings night , which is evidently very popular , because I saw tons of people there that I recognized . So I had a glass or two of beer and some fun conversations .
