What is an unfulfilled dream of yours?

Update:

I'll go first:

I would like to perform a figured bass accompaniment. I would rather do that than perform as a soloist. That is because music theory skills are more important to me than virtuosity as a soloist.

Also, I have never gotten a chance to perform in a pit orchestra for an opera--not unless you define "opera" broadly enough to include Hello, Dolly! and The Pirates of Penzance.

    I want to master all of Chopin's piano etudes. Which is heartbreaking because the one I know and love best is Op 25 No 6 "Double Thirds" and I've heard it's one of the most difficult.

    I'm currently playing Debussy's arabesques and a Schubert impromptu, so while I'm fairly advanced, my dream is definitely a bit out of reach for now - but with my aptitude and passion for the piano, I know it will be possible in not too many months or years!

    To conduct the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; and I would choose Berwald's 2nd symphony, if only because it's so rarely performed.

    Dragging Gilbert Kaplan off the podium and replacing him with a life-size cardboard image of Leonard Bernstein, which would undoubtedly result in a much better Mahler second.

    Touring with AC/DC as a guest drummer.

    Wanted that so bad I could taste it as a teenager back in the 1980s.

    Still surprisingly wistful about it now.
