Charles says: "An orchestral musician reveals that classical music is not
very different from Hollywood when it comes to offering
jobs-for-sex. From a review in the London Times of her
recent book:
Blair Tindall, who played with the New York Philharmonic,
offers an unseemly tour behind the scenes in a book entitled
Mozart in the Jungle. . . .Instrument players had a sexual style unique to their
instrument, she writes. Neurotic violinists, anonymous in
their orchestra section, came fast. Trumpet players pumped
away like jocks, while pianists sensitive fingers worked
magic. French horn players, their instruments the testiest of
all, could rarely get it up, but percussionists could make
beautiful music out of anything.
