Not only, a short grip to the tuning slide of the Viennese Horn, a light pull, would make another half step, as there are 2 inches to pull or more. And a pull on the third slide would add to it. All a matter of seconds.
Do you know, how to make the sound of a muted wagnertuba if there is no mute, but required in Elektra e.g. ? Get some card board & roll it together & insert this tube into the bell. It works. Friends, a bit more phantasy, not only relying upon "urtext". Sometimes (technical) "improvisation" is the key to the right performance of an obvious tricky task. ============================================================ ================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Houston Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 8:31 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Re: French Nationalistic Sound Marc Gelfo wrote: > > Also, I'm curious how they pull of things like the low E in the 4th > mvt of Shostakovich 5, which cannot be played on F horn (I guess maybe > sort of you could bend down pedal F# with F123, but that would be > treacherous to attack an out-of-the-blue piano low E with that > fingering) > > Anybody know more about this? No, but don't forget the right hand can be used to affect pitch as well. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
