Thank you, Anthony, for the CD. I just listened to it, following the first horn part. You are right absolutely. The high b-natural (written upbeat c2 for E-horn) is one octave higher. It can be heard clearly, and it is the horn & no overtones or trumpet. It is the typical sound of the Viennese when played high. Yes, it makes sense, because it is phrase over two measures in "alla breve" and repeated just one full step lower. Even I am against such alterations, it is very good here to do it.
Please drop me your postal address, so I can put the CD into the mail tomorrow. Kindest greetings Hans PS: find one of my "live" recordings coming with your CD. ============================================================ =========================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 3:22 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Brahms symphony no. 4 with Wiener Phil./Kleiber Does anyone have the recording of Brahms 4th symphony with Carlos Kleiber and the Wiener Philharmoniker on the DGG label ? 44 bars (measures) before the end of the first movement,the first horn plays a high B natural (or so it sounds to my ears),which is an octave higher than Brahms wrote.Looking at the score it is musically logical.Is it actually there,or is it an audio illusion ? I'm trying to settle an argument.
