This is a video of Tchaikovsky’s Meditation for violin and piano being performed by violinist Eva Gigova and pianist Angela Todorova when page turner Yana Petrova drops the sheet music into the piano. Woops! Angela manages to keep her calm and have a good laugh about it during and afterward though. That’s good. Me? I probably would have pooped my pants and run off stage crying, at least if my middle school talent show was any indication of my cool under pressure.
Thanks to my dad, who agrees this might stand as a good argument for holding page-turning tryouts instead of just going with the first person who volunteers.
