Librettist, Where Art Thou?
This week I'm proofreading the lower trombone parts and the lower horns, and that will be the end of proofreading.

I believe the orchestra will be a total of 53 players, which is quite swank nowadays, although ideally the sound in my head would've had 8 more strings or so. Never mind....!
