That seems to be true in any profession.

Hans you must write a book on musicianship and horn playing. Your words are spot on perfect and true for the future horn players of the world. What seems to be happening in the USA is more and more players are becoming PhD's of music rather than amazing performers and musicians in Horn. This maybe due to the fact that you can PAY for an education in music, but not a performing career. As I found out recently, a PhD held by a individual will win out against less lofty academic gains(on paper of course) for many university teaching positions. Some music performance professors I have heard can not hold their weight against their own students. One maybe two recitals a year, if that, as a professor, is not a performing career. Are potential musicians being told that the "standard" of performance is one of repeating a passage until it is interpreted boring (but quasi note perfect?), rather than the inspiration of performance and LISTENING with a characteristic horn sound?
