Sorry, sorry, where are counting problems for the nervous performer ??? If too nervous, hands off solo playing !! If counting is a problem in a 4/4 rhythm, hands off solo playing !! If the "nervous performer" cannot remember the number of rest measures, he or she should use the music better instead playing it from memory. = solution no.1.
I cannot imagine ANY other counting problem which could kick the "nervous" performer out of his track. Well there are eight, later two, one, nine, four, three, three again, and once again three measures rest followed by a last time one measure rest. Where should be the counting problem ? Ooops, perhaps the one 1/4 rest at the end of the pre last & fourth last measure, - or what ? By the way, a metronome M: 1/4 = 72 (72 beats/min. if conducted or thought in four) would be the average speed, corresponding to a very easy Andante. The Larghetto (2/2) stands in "alla breve" signature, about 36-42 1/2 beats/minute which is 72-84 1/4 beats in Andante (4/4). Hope that helps. And, if the sixteenths M.24/25 and M.39 might be too (fast) tricky, why not solving the problem in the classical way by dissolving the first two groups of four sixteents in each of these measures by the method two slurred & two tongued as shown in the second half of M.24 & 25 ? Well, the entrances with (our F-Horn) f2 might bring problems to the insecure & nervous player as well as the one octave jump f1 - f2 (upbeat to M.38. But as said before, why playing the piece if too nervous or with too many other problems ? Some masochism ??? ============================================================ =================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 8:53 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Arrangement of Mozart Concerti for Band Hans raises valid concerns, but you, your son, and the director have the resposibility to make this enjoyable for everyone involved. I performed that movement, with piano, in the eighth grade, and did the whole concerto with Fiedler and the Pops in 1969, with many of the original audience in attendance. As simple as that movement is to play, there are some difficult counting problems that might become problems for a nervous performer, so use a MMO recording to get used to having the accompaniment. Also, I strongly suggest limiting the accompaniment to only include players who can play it easily. Certainly no more than one on a part. If you follow this guideline, it will make the performance a great learning experience, teaching an element of showmanship to these students willing to participate fully. My experience with talented young performers is the higher you let them raise the standards, the higher they push them. -----Original Message----- From: Hans.Pizka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'The Horn List' <horn@music.memphis.edu> Sent: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 10:32:08 +0100 Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Arrangement of Mozart Concerti for Band As long as these arrangements are played to entertain (mainly) hornplayers, I would have no objections, but in a serious concert or serious school event ?????? The Saint Saens could be published by Kalmus perhaps. ============================================================ ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 9:20 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Arrangement of Mozart Concerti for Band There's also an arrangment of the Saint Saens Romance in F for horn and band. I can't remember any other details but I could find out if you wish. Slightly changing the subject - DbEdition have recently published a whole set of music for horn ensemble including my (light hearted) arrangement of the Mozart Rondo K.495. (Hans, I know you won't approve, but it's a fun piece and audience's like it) If they are not available near you, they are certanly available from Paxman's All the best, Lawrence.
