It has long been argued by even wiser musicians than Old Duffer that rehearsals should be held after concerts, rather than before.

Wiser than Old Duffer?
Is this possible?

The reasoning behind this is that hundreds of hours of expensive rehearsal time every year are lost rehearsing bits that would have been all right anyway.
Rehearsals which took place after a concert would be able to concentrate only on the bits that went wrong, which would therefore be all right next time.
Psychologists also claim that musicians, anxious to keep the time spent retrohearsing to a minimum, would concentrate even harder than they do in pre-rehearsed concerts, and that the kind of jaded "Oh God, we just played this ten times a couple of hours ago"
feel would disappear.

 






Gosh!
