Yes, you are right, but you did not understand what I was pointing out: The importance of melody & toner before the number of notes played within a certain short time frame.
Off course, the technical abilities are a prerequisite for every player, but extreme fast double & triple tongue are not the most important abilities nor are it finger rattles up & down. They are necessary, off course, but they are not helpful to show the true character & the beauty of the horn. ============================================================ =================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Taylor Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 11:30 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Vol 27, Issue 27 All these are important.
