Hello Paul, and everyone,
I had the honor of meeting Milan and getting him to autograph my
hardbound copy of A Practical Guide to French Horn Playing at the
Kalamazoo Symposium in 2001. Milan was a very fine gentleman, he will
be missed. I use a good part of his first book to teach intervals to
my students. I think It's a great method for teaching intervals.
RIP, Milan.

I was just notified that Milan Yancich died yesterday at the age of
86. Milan was a good friend and a loyal member of IHS. As I recall
he served two or three terms on the Advisory council and contributed
much through his business, Wind Music, Inc. He was a fine horn
player and played and taught in the Rochester, NY Symphony and
Eastman School. He was also an author and supplied us all with a lot
of great arrangements for horn choir, for ensembles, and solo
materials. If I remember correctly, he was largely responsible for
the publication of all the Farkas books. We all owe him a great
debt of gratitude and thanks. We shall miss him profoundly. To
those who didn't know him, I suggest you read his book, A View From
The Rear.
Paul Mansur
