Hello, fellow hornlisters I have begun preparing for the annual concerto competition tryouts for my orchestra, and I have been working (for some time now) on the Weber Concertino in e minor. My teacher tells me that is would be perhaps unwise to play it in a live/public performance, as there is a great margin for error, and that I should maybe stick to something a little safer for the time being.
Should I risk it with the Weber? I can play it rather accurately, but the nerves and whatnot might hinder the performance, so, that is something I would have to work on. What pieces would you recommend that aren't TERRIBLY difficult (I know the Weber is insane, but I have been living with the piece for a VERY long time) My teacher recommends the Gliere concerto. Does anyone else have any other suggestions that I could probably use for a concerto competition. BTW The pizka classic double horn blends perfectly within a diverse section (we have a Paxman 20XL, a Conn8d, a Yamaha 668, and of course, the Pizka) in case anybody was wondering. It is possible to obtain a great variety of tone colours from the horn, also recommended is the Pizka mouthpiece - Yes, it is deep, much deeper than most other mouthpieces, but it truly does help you and your sound. Thanks! _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
