			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week we had the opportunity to assist to a unique classical music project: the YouTube Symphony Orchestra performing at Carnegie Hall. The musicians came from several countries and have been selected through auditioning videos, which they self-posted on YouTube.<br />
That was the first orchestra “made in the world-wide-web”. </p>
<p>Just check your camera, put it in your practice room, choose the best piece you can play and then just record your little audition to get your chance to be a member of a ”virtual orchestra”.<br />
A good idea, a well-organized project, a particular live performance.</p>
<p>Any instrumentalist was no more required to travel personally to an audition, they could just do it from their home, from their practicing room.</p>
<p>Hm, quite interesting but, do you really like this?<br />
It sounds like in doing so, “virtual voyeurs” are allowed to watch me while I am having my private practicing session at home.<br />
Well, I think that a practicing session should be rather an intimate affair with the instrument, yes, a very close relationship with the piano, for example, like two lovers communicating with each other…&#8230;<br />
I would let listen from outside the practicing room, it is more exciting and not that interfering for the two involved, musician and instrument, pianist and piano.</p>
<p>Otherwise, why not making an exception and watching a unique pianist doing his unique practicing session in his unique room?<br />
I am sure this pianist also didn´t want to be disturbed and be watched every time he practiced, as said, this is an exception.</p>
