Evergrey - When The River Calls

The conductor reigns over everyone, then comes the first violin, then the first second violin, then the second first violin, then the other first and second violins, violas, cello, flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, brass, and at the very end the double bass. Only the timpani follow us, and then purely theoretically, since they are always singular, and the performer sits on a dais, so that everyone can see it. In addition, they have a larger volume of sound. When the timpani enter, it is heard in the very last row, and anyone will immediately say, yeah, timpani. Nobody will say anything about me, yeah, double bass, for I am lost in the mass. Therefore, practically the timpani stand above the double bass. Although, strictly speaking, timpani with their four tones are not a musical instrument at all. But there is a solo for the timpani, for example, in Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto,at the end of the last part. Here everyone who does not look at the pianist gazes at the timpani, and this is in the great hall of the good one thousand two hundred - one thousand five hundred people. So many people do not dignify me with their gaze during the season.
