...And then there was this other young woman who came in with "The Beauty Is" from The Light in the Piazza.
-I'm sorry but I cut some of the piano notes off when I made the copy.
"Well, you'll be sure to correct that for the next pianist."
-Yes, I will.
"Oh, it's OK. I know the song..."
In any case... I think I may have had a touch of 'tude in my voice when I asked her to correct her music. However...
-So, if you're giving me incomplete music, are you expecting me to play it incompletely?
-And for anyone considering bringing in "The Beauty Is" to an audition, please try to get the actual pit piano/rehearsal part. The vocal selections arrangement is horrible! With the melody doubled in the accompaniment, it's actually harder to play than the real accompaniment especially in the opening "spiky" section.
