I am going to be playing the violin in church with a soprano and a pianist next month. The piece is Bach/Gounod Ave Maria. The music may be sublime, but in the score, there are extra parts I don’t need, and the page turns are in really bad places.
What to do? Cut and paste!

A fellow string player! 😊 I will be sharing your idea with my youngest ( the other stringist)

Cute 🙂
I recall that David Bowie used to write songs and then chop up bits of the text and rearrange them into the finished piece.

Definitely cut and paste. You may be creating a whole new work of art!
