Two violinists, Tina and Todd,
talk incessantly during rehearsals, so they are often called the music
talkers.
David the conductor intends to separate them
by assigning them to other places. Both violinists are excellent in their
abilities and technique, so such a move would affect the integrity of
the orchestra.
David demands they have to do 15 min of dull
administrative work after every instance of talking, but it does not work.
For some time, both instrumentalists worked long every day after hours,
which affected their performance the next day. Tina and Todd have been
released and made free of this obligation. They feeled relieved but it
did not inhibit their need to talk. The worst part is they talk while playing
their instruments. It's almost like singing, they say.
