Van Halen - In A Simple Rhyme

In the orchestras there are also violinists who dreamed of becoming the new Menukhins or Milshteins, cellists - Rostropovichs or Yo-Yo Ma, trumpeters - the same stars as Maurice Andre or Winton Marsalis. But at some point, you have to come to terms with the idea that they won’t succeed - because of insufficient talent for a solo career, or simply because they were not lucky, they did not appear at the right time in the right place and did not play in front of the right people . And when, as an alternative, they get a place in the orchestra, this should by no means be considered in a negative way. On the contrary, the work in the orchestra for many becomes the realization of a creative dream, especially since they often combine this service with part-time work in chamber ensembles or give lessons in playing their instruments.Being a really good orchestral musician is a whole art. I think most soloists would not last two minutes playing in the orchestra.
