Hello, everyone.
I was asked by one of my students this question. She is indeed a bright one and I have never thought or encountered such situation before.
Suppose I will enter a competion and allegedly it's set tomorrow night. I want to watch a film now but at the same time I want to at least be able to play the piece of music I am supposed to be playing tomorrow night. I am nearly there. Another hour's of practice would suffice and this can be now or some time tomorrow. I will have lessons until 6 p.m. the following day. So I can prectise tomorrow if the time is after 8, or I will have to do it now if it's before 8. It seems there is a kind of condition here, in that whether the competion is set before or after 8 will have a bearing on whether I am practising now.
Is is possible to say I am rehearsing this piece of music if I will have to play it at 7 p.m. tomorrow night?
Many thanks
Richard
