#Composers give us your best stories of rudeness/ignorance from our superiors. One of mine, at Air Studios, in front of everyone, Producer: is that a trombone? Me: no it’s a bass clarinet. Prod. I hate bass clarinets. I hope you’re not going to ruin this.

After trying vainly for ages to come up with something I was happy with, that did a similar job to the temp score which the director LOVED, I played mine and he screamed “why does it STILL not sound like the Rachel Portman!”
