started listening to Der Freischutz....

and it's nice that I have a score so I can answer the question "is that really ugly sounding people or violins?" it's people going "he he he he he he he he" on the 8th notes. with the violins maybe? I've only got a piano reduction. This recording is from a live performance in 1954 so I'm hearing all kinds of extra stuff. coughing, people shuffling around.
