Where in Madame Buterfly ???? BTW "obsioulsy" is a nice legastenic. So should be "Adamme Tubrefyl". Really, have played the Madame Buterfly for nearly 50 years but never with "campana in alto" & cannot remember where this should be asked for. Could be in the finale act 3 or in the transition between acts 2 & 3. But I will check that.
What is so important with the "bell up", what is so important with "crude & loud playing" ???? Anyway, if written allready, it is not done with the bells up but as in Mahler or Strawinsky "with bell sidewards & more open". It is generally done with a great misunderstanding of the required technique. Most players/conductors just follow the text wordly, as they have no taste at all, no sense for beauty, even in the louder segment. ============================================================ ============================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 7:51 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Bells Up in Opera/Ballet I thought it would be fun to compile a list pieces that use bells up while in the pit..namely in opera and in ballet. I always thought of bells up as a visual affect, obsioulsy some composers though differently. Ill start with a few that Im sure everyone knows Stravinsky Rite Puccini Butterfly Estancia (is that a ballet?)
