I agree that there were few black players, but I think there were more than two. I met a very tall handsome black man and a black woman and don't forget Mr. Pelletier who is simply a marvelous player.

There were only 2 black horn players there, and I am the female. I was impressed by her ability for such a small woman. That was the first horn workshop that I had ever been to. It was a very informational weekend for me. I tried out for the solo competition, but I did not win anything. I won three critique sheets. I am a pretty good horn player, so I was a wee bit upset when I found out that I didn't advance. It took me about two hours to get over it, and I was good as new. I now have learned to take experiences like that with me to the practice room. >From: Chris Tedesco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: The Horn List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: The Horn List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Recital suggestions >Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 18:29:14 -0700 (PDT) > >That reminds me, Gail Williams mentioned at a workshop this past year at >BGSU >that she has never played a transcription until that recital where she >played >the Gliere. > >yeah shiga, >Chris > >--- David Goldklang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Generally when it comes to planning a senior recital, your teacher will > > be the best source for repertoire pickings.
