Hello Carl, the horn part of the Quintet K407 is the principal part of this composition, no question, but a principal part of a chamber work is a bit different to a solo part of a concerto. In the chamber music, any principal part or even solo is just a bit "elevated" to the other parts. Right. If the horn player treats his or her instrument if it were a stringed instrument, he or she would be right.
The corrections I offered come from Viennese tradition. Stiegler & Freiberg were nearest to the tradition & to the first printed scores, which they corrected. But one comment: if all players would follow the corrections mentioned in the critical review by Schmid (New Mozart Gesamtausgabe) 100%, the interpretation would result comical or like an Mozart caricature. It is just a 100% listing of shorter & longer bows or how the different editions interpreted a 32th-run, how the run was written, as grace note infront etc. All not helpful for the player but filling the pages. Scientific reports are that like. I personally wonder much, how anti-Mozartian many interpretations come out, changing notes at their pleasure or to fit their embouchure, new trills here & there, rushing scales, implementing higher notes, cadenzas out of style completely. Why then the search for the original ??? I recently listened to a cadenza of $.447 (No.3 concerto), which was just the most traditional cadenza as used by Dennis Brain. But it was not good enough for the young player. So he divided it & added other phrases which had many notes not fitting the style of the Mozart time horn playing or the concertos melodic contents. But the soloist returned to the old cadenza again & again, but stopped before the last run (which can be done in many ways without damaging), ruining the whole effect of a cadenza, as he had to build up tension again leading to the final trill. And again, this soloist & most others start any trill with a higher grace note like baroque style. There are rules: if the trills main note is surpassed to a higher or lower note already, this note is to be regarded as the introduction to the trill & must not be repeated by a grace note of the same pitch to lead to the trill. If the note right before the trill is the same as the trills main note, the trill requires an introductory grace note. This confirms, that all said about this is unread & like words in the wind. But all these folks do a lot of research - but nothing remains in their brain obviously. Their orientations come just from listening to several recordings instead of reading the music & listening to it the same time, no recording instrument or reproducing instrument involved. That is the problem: READING MUSIC ON PAPER & IMAGINE HOW IT SHOULD SOUND. All without touching the instrument, all without "acoustical" device. The most perverse variation I found on youtube is K.447, played nicely on the horn, but accompanied by a clarinet orchestra. ############################################################### Am 17.08.2010 um 08:06 schrieb [email protected]: > Aleks, > > After you have done the work, perhaps you can share the results.
