Depends on what the music is & how long they've had to practice it. If they're career musicians for hire, they could go thru hundreds of pieces of music for various different gigs and not have the time to memorize everything. But if it's a soloist and it's their own music, they likely will have memorized a piece that they wrote.

While some orchestras and ensembles I play in rehearse once a week, usually when I get hired to play for an orchestra, it's two rehearsals and a concert. Add that to the other groups I play in, and it's just not worth it to memorize music. If ai did show up to an orchestra concert with my parts memorized, I think the only thing I'd do is piss of the other musicians around me. And my intonation usually takes care of that.

But sure, try memorizing the first bassoon part to the Verdi Requiem.

I listened to Ways yo Go and I loved it a lot actually, it sounds so fresh and nice to hear, it’s something I would personally listen to. Is this your band or something? hahah since your name is Matthew.

I listened to abnormalize and I liked it a lot! Then I listened to Enigmatic Feeling and I didn’t like it as much. I’m confused. Maybe I don’t listen to this kind of rock often. Oh but I love japanese as a language, it sounds really good in songs. Mmm so idk I loved it first and didn’t in the end??

I listened to a couple of songs of Dire Straits a while ago (the most popular one, Sultans of Swing and some more) so I can say I quite like them, they sound very fresh, it’s nice to hear, even though there are other songs like Walk of Life that I don’t like that much. I don’t know why but this one feels kinda dull in my opinion. About Mark Knopfler, I think it feels similar to Dire Straits, very fresh and calming. I listened to What it is. I like both of them but I don’t love them either.
