Can you tell which piece is being performed in this photo? (Instead of writing your answer in the comments, tag a friend to challenge and DM us if you think you have the right answer!) This challenge is inspired by Principal Librarian Lawrence Tarlow who uses a photo he keeps posted in the Philharmonic Library of this same piece (different orchestra) to demonstrate the type of knowledge orchestra librarians call upon in their daily work. Hint: this particular photo was taken this past season! #nyphil #nyphilharmonic #orchestra #orchestralibrarian #librarian 📷: @chrisleephotonyc (at New York Philharmonic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ERpldhlMx/?igshid=19mzhf9p1qlqn

"The wall of broken batons in the library.  Orchestra librarians are often handlers of the conductors baton.....sometimes they break during concerts and sometimes they get dropped. #oops" - Sara #onthecover #orchestralibrarian #orchestra #librarian #library #baton (at David Geffen Hall)

"Orchestra librarians work closely with the conductors long before the rehearsal process starts until the final notes are played in a concert. Today, all things Messiaen." - Sara #onthecover #librarian #library #orchestralibrarian #orchestra #messiaen #messiaenweek #conductor #score (at David Geffen Hall - Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts)

"Esa-Pekka Salonen gets the rehearsal for Messiaen's Turangalîla-symphonie started....time for me to get off the stage and back to the library. Today I am working on Manuel de Falla's The Three-Cornered Hat. #lotstodo #bowings" - Sara #onthecover #library #librarian #orchestralibrarian (at David Geffen Hall)
