I must say that is a much more thoughtful, and gracious answer that some previously given.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 10:00 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Strauss Horn etudes "LT" (it would be nice to know who I'm addressing, but that is another issue, entirely), I think that you may have misread my posting(s) about Strauss' Etudes. It is not that they are unknown to me and others, they just don't seem to have gone beyond the pencil copies residing in the Richard Strauss Archives. It is possible that I am wrong on this, but I would imagine that there is no reason you couldn't be the one to bring them into print, assuming that it is worth your trouble. The citations of the first few measures that appear in the thematic catalog that Trenner has put together make two things clear to me. One is that they were written when he was approximately 13 years old and therefore way before he wrote anything that resembles "Strauss" as most horn players know him. The other is that both of them launch into the register above (concert) F (our "high" C) immediately. If this is your cup of tea, then I suggest contacting the RSA and inquiring about the possibility of studying the MS and copying it for your own use or publication. I have no idea what the archives' response would be but why not give it a try? I'd be curious to know what happens. Feel free to contact me offlist if any of this needs clarification or if you want more info.
