The object of today's rehearsal is to achieve a piano and forte, since the music itself has been more or less sorted out. I played through the whole Suite almost without stopping, and everything now seems to be clear. True, there is still no pianissimo, only piano, and no fortissimo, we never get more than forte, moreover God only knows what is wrong with the trombones: instead of the 'raucousness' of which Rimsky-Korsakov write in his orchestration manual, ours sounds more like the buzzing of mosquitoes. Tyulin came to listen, and was ecstatic.
