Yes, you are right, it is just fun to mention it, but playing for a community orchestra, - well this "two pairs of shoes" might be "just a bit" too large.
The Huebler Concerto for four horns should fit any well set ambitious horn section from amateur to professional. And about the spelling: is it so difficult too remember that "umlaut" is to be spelled with an attached letter "e" only. So "Huebler" and not "Hubler", "Mueller" instead of "Muller". The Huebler is fun, challenging but not exhausting as the Schumann. It is also not exploring the extremes of horn playing, but it is received very, very well by the audience, special by the not much music educated audience; typical 19th century music. It is also not too difficult for the winds & strings of an amateur or student orchestra. Parts are available for a (modest) rent. Orchestral pieces: Rossini: Semiramide ouverture, some of these opera fantasies by Urbach: Remembering Bayreuth, Tschaikowsky Quell, Donizettis Sun Chart (Sonnenwagen). Try to get these. Quite challenging. ============================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 12:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Horn Quartets Hi D., .... OK, I'll mention the obvious ... R. Schumann, Concertpiece, Op. 86, for 4 horns and orchestra. It may be a bit ambitious for community orchestra and community orchestra horns, but it's fun to mention it anyway.
