Subject: RE: Folklore: How many tunes can be remembered?
I used to play with an orchestra that had a repertoire of fifty or sixty tunes. But every rehearsal and every performance was done from the written score. Ten years later, I could not even recall what keys I played them in or how the tunes went. Unless I look at the books, then my fingers still know the tunes. Funny thing, memory. Cheers Dave
