Default The merge of work and play

Quite often in my work we have to send documents to a client or a lawyer and we will label the supporting doc attachments to a memo as "Exhibit A" or "1 of 10", etc or "Schedule A-1", "Schedule A-2", etc ad nauseam, lol.

So now I'm going over a long piece of music (for me, 8 pages) and I really want to learn the whole tune and record it eventually, so I'm listening to it on youtube and marking the song into sections A, B, etc. for future recording and at my "break points" I'm writing down the time in the tune as well to coincide with my "breaks." I have sections that are over a page long and I thought to myself, "Well if I have to I can break it down to C-1, C-2 if needed...."

Sheesh. I felt like I was at work for a minute.

Haha this is exactly what orchestral publishers do: they add in "rehearsal numbers" (usually letters) so the conductor can say "I want to hear the winds at M" or "Let's take it from C. Just the the low strings this time."

I've played pieces so long the rehearsal numbers have to start over so you get things like Aa, Bb, etc. or A', B', etc. That first movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique is long lol

8 pages? Can you listen to it and render it by ear?

No, I'm a "paint by numbers" kind of guitar player, not a musician.

Plus it doesn't really repeat, it kind of wanders, goes into the lower registers doing the same kind of thing and then goes into the second section (its a two tune medley) that is similar but not quite. It's Al Petteway's "Down by the Salley Gardens/Down in the Willow Garden".
