******************** Don't do it, hornlisters! I once threw my fingers in the air at the end of the first movement of Tchaikowsky's Fifth. The second hornist and I were still picking them up from the floor as the second movement started! I didn't miss the big solo in the second movement, but it was a close call, almost as impressive as a long call. Gotta go, Cabbage _______________________________________________ Horn mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/listinfo/horn
