I agree with Hans Pizka with regard to aging and (still) playing the horn. Early training is the key. Interestingly enough, that applied also to athletics, and perhaps in an indirect way to everything in life. In my case I practiced 1 1/2 hours a day from the age of 11 onwards. With performance, orchestra practice, band practice during the school year, and summer music camps there were times that I was playing more than six hours a day. That builds muscles necessary to play long performances without fatigue. Now at age 70 I can still keep up with younger horn players, ar least for two hours. Regards.
