Learn as much of all the parts as you can. The entire piece is marvelous and busy for all 4 horns. > > What about Marhler 2nd and Alborada dle gracioso? I think Mahler is Mahler. Learn as much as you can from every part. As for the Ravel, I played it many years ago and just pulled out my ancient photocopies. Yup, just as I remembered. Tonguing tonguing tonguing. Triple tonguing, double tonguing! Fast! Some stopped notes, muted passages. Lousy page turns in the 1 & 3 parts. Oh, and the highest note is g# above the staff, triple tongue, start FF and diminuendo to nothing.... There is almost nothing melodic about the horn parts, but if you need to practice tonguing this almost as good as Arbans.
