      In the opposite, you needed to be a divine sight-reader to manage these notes. It is impossible. The point of the video ist that you can not master these pieces by sight-reading, no matter how good you are. No doubt both players are professional musicians with very well developed skills and they did the best in sight-reading they could (Ok they didn´t take it too seriously). Even they can not do it by sight reading. You need to practice it to master it. Remember the shirts they wear? It just contradicts the thing they pretend to do. I´m totally convinced they´d practice their piece for days and weeks prior to the first rehearsals.

    I play both violin and viola in orchestras and I love these viola jabs :p The one where violist jokes with the violinist is all too real.
    Once during rehearsal, the conductor was giving an especially hard time to the first violinists because they couldn't play a fast and extremely high passage well enough, so we (the rest of the orchestra) had to sit there listening to the squeeling. It was then that we (the violists) took out a small sign reading 'no more high notes? Come play the viola!' and showed it to all violinists. Half of them started laughing, the other half just glared :p

      @@Un1234l Honestly, I have no idea, but it might have something to do with the fact that flute plays in that octave all the time. Either that, or the composers think it's funny to see us suffer, lol.

    Choir sight reading mishaps:
    -getting your music and being asked to sing it in your respected sections all together
    -getting your music and being asked to sing it alone
    - "what's the key signature?"
    -mouthing the music cause you still can't read it
    -being asked to play some of the music on the piano (not that bad, but none of us can play the piano)
    -class ending and being told to work on it at home where you have no _PIANO_
    -coming into class the next day and being asked to sing before actually learning the piece
