Dear John, tell this ??conductor??, he should go back to school & make his homework before answering that STUPID.
If such kind of transpositions are asked for, the piece in question should not be from the Classic Period, as there is no piece asking for horns in g# or B# alto. There was no B# alto crook nor any single horn in that key. Punctum. Next, what piece of music should have the transpositions indicated in Spanish (not spainish !) ? The transpositions are indicated in Italian (not itilian !) or in German or French or English, e.g. Do = C = Ut = C If it is a singer piece, well, it could be transposed up for a half step, but it would not be indicated in the part (perhaps a part in C as written for piano or violin) as "transposition indication". Anyway, it would be unusual absolutely, to have a piece sung higher than written. As we should ask then, who was the "asshole" (pardon for that) who wrote out the parts on the computer. Perhaps another "mentally handicapped" conductor, who did not know, that horn players can transpose up & down 1/2 step or full step or a third or whatever is requested. May-be it was your spelling teacher (sorry, but I had to point to that), who might give you a very bad score for all the spelling errors you committed including the "smple meanig" or "solfegio" (correct: solfeggio). If you were that careless playing the horn, you would be fired anyway. Sorry. To end this discussion, you should name composer & piece to receive the perfect answer you could present to your "all knowing god". ========================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Putnam Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 3:57 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] horn in C# first I am sorry for starting WW3. second this is what I did. I ask the conductor him being the all knowing god and me just a smple college horn player. he said; " either it is itilian meanig "si" as in solfegio (i.e rasied 5 scale Degree), or it is spainish and Si is C, So if it is C# alto read it like c alto then Raise every thing, but if it is, rasied 5 scale Degree, or G# then it is "in g# # alto" or a alto (which is the same as A horn right). I am unsure which is correct, or if either is correct does any one know ?
