So, the one that's in G-major, you play in concert C-major? Just to be sure I understand correctly - the first pitch is C that's one octave below middle C? I have played the prelude from the first one on the guitar, where it's usually done in concert D-major and with the sixth string tuned down a whole step from E to D, (a common enough thing for transposed pieces on classical guitar in the key of D). I must try this on the horn sometime - I don't have the facility to do it at anything approaching a decent tempo but it will be fun nonetheless. Thanks to you and to everyone else who has responded. -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
