That's all very well as long as there are transposed copies to play from. Often there aren't. Emory Waters -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Tue, 23 Jan 2007 1:26 PM Subject: [Hornlist] Re: transposing
You people who 'insist' on having horn players transpose make me laugh. It's so ridiculous. It's like saying if you're going to drive a car you have to learn to drive a stick. No you don't, it's so silly. Drive the automatic and give yourself less grief. I have often found more mistakes on the 'originals' than the transposed copies. Play the transposed F part and get involved with the music you're playing, watch the conductor, be in sync with the rest of the section, the rest of the symphony. Leave the mental gymnastics to the Rubik's cube....and yes, I can transpose quite well thank you very much.
