This is the wrong conclusion or logic. Etudes are written for a single instrument as are the cello suites. There are no objection to do them on another instrument. Most duets fit for a multitude of combinations. But a very colourful string plus soloist(s) piece should not be played with the piano as a substitute for the strings. All the fine colours will be missed & the character of the piece be altered too much.

From: "hans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, Howard, flaming begins: Doing the "Serenade" with piano accompaniment instead of the strings is a perfect "sacrileg" as it ruins the music perfectly. Britten and Hindemith as well are known for their perfect taste for instrument colours. Following this logic to its logical conclusion means that one ought not play Kopprasch on a double horn. Ruins the exercise. ========== Sorry, Hans, I'm just kidding. Although I am presently working through the Bach Cello Suites using only F horn, playing as I always do on one of your mouthpieces... _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
