Klaus, Now I AM confused.
In your previous message, you seemed to be mixing up Bob Watt of the LA Philharmonic with Jerry Ashby of the NYPO. Watt has roots at NE Conservatory in the 60s, Ashby went to Music & Art, then Juilliard her in NYC in the 70s. Watt never, to my knowledge, had anything to do with the NY scene. Now you bring up Ross Taylor, who died (by his own hand, a la Mark Fischer, I gather) many years previous to the Beethoven performance that you refer to. I knew his son Paul many years back and I can speak fairly authoritatively that Ross had nothing to do with Jerry Ashby or the Beethoven performance in question. Since I have not seen the video in question, it is hard for me to comment, but I doubt that Ashby would have been playing the solo from the fourth chair (he is a "corno primo", not "secondo"). Where was the player seated relative to the rest of the section? I am sure that I am serving to preserve disorder by this posting. Maybe someone else can clarify. - Peter Hirsch <from: Klaus Bjerre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <to: The Horn List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <subject: Re: [Hornlist] Who were the horns? < <Sorry for my cryptic posting.
