Well again: Military band, out door concert in the afternoon, high horn parts, first horn plays one octave lower sometimes. Next morning report: Msgt: "Commander, first horn played one octave lower in yesterdays concert !" Maj.: (whispering) "What is an octave ?" Msgt.:(whispering back) "Eight notes !" Maj.: (screeming) "Private XXX, you have played the concert ONE OCTAVE lower ! I would tolerate one note or two notes lower, BUT NOT ONE OCTAVE ! ARREST TWO DAYS !!!"
