If you listen to the many Long Call samples on my website, you will find out, that Siegfried tries many ways to wake up the dragon (not vake up !!! or fake up !! Hoh - hoh - hojotohoh !). But the loud playing comes at the end when the full orchestra has entered allready. The climb to the high c3 must be something very special & the culminating c3 is a real culmination in sound quality & loudness. Four forte (ffff) would be just enough, just enough. But anyway, this solo is not for the average player and not for the average first horn.
