Four In One
The next question seems to be designed to confound me. Listen to it: "How can you play string quartets by yourself?" Impossible! you say. Why, no. Nothing is impossible. Now in this case all you need is an efficient sound-recording apparatus. First you make a recording of, say, the ’cello part. Then you play this recording on a producer and accompany its playing with the viola part, and make a recording of the two parts. Play the second recording and accompany it with the violin part and so on, until the quartet is completed. Perfectly simple, isn’t it? It you are sufficiently versatile there’s no reason _ why you should not be a full orchestra all by yourself.-("Do You Know Why?" by "Autolycus,"’ 4YA.)
