Along my advice not to sweat on it . Once in rehearsal, under a German conductor, I asked, "Maestro, could we go over my solo spot one more time?" "Why?", asked he, "it was beautiful." "I wasn't quite happy with it." "What is the matter with you, don't you trust my opinion? If you don't I'll never give you a compliment again!"
Moral: Just play the thing!!!!!!!!!
