The Alfred purchase of Warner Bros Publications was completed over 2 years ago.? There are absolutely no problems with supply, especially because Alfred runs one of the better publication houses in the industry.? We have never had a problem getting Kopprasch nor any other method or etude book published by Alfred, Carl Fisher,?Hal Leonard, etc.? I suggest if you are having local supply difficulties try a horn specialty store, most of whom participate in some form or other on this and the other list.
Dave Weiner Brass Arts Unlimited I think some of the problems of getting the etudes has to do with Warner Music being purchased by Alfreds. That is what was told to me when I was trying to purchase some Getchell books for my students. -----Original Message----- From: Walter Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: The Horn List <horn@music.memphis.edu> Sent: Sun, 28 Oct 2007 9:31 am Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Wot, no Kopprasch? Hi Everyone, I just googled Kopprasch and here's a link to David Thompson's music site (sorry Hans, I remember you and David had a bit of a tiff over the High Horn exercises) www.thompsonedition.com/kopprasch.htm The etudes can be purchased on line for much less than $15.95.

The 3 music stores in our area here that service over 1 million in population, over 15 High Schools (public, probably that many private ones too), 25 junior highs and 4 major private lessons studios don't carry Kopprasch either. No Getchell, no Pottag, no Gallay, no Rochut, no Maxime-Alphonse... If you want Standards of Excellence or Famous Movie Themes for French (sic) horn, you're in luck.... What's that, you want to order Kopprasch from the local music store...? It will take 2 weeks and cost you $15.95. Gee...I wonder why students are struggling with the basic concepts of horn playing! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ronald Rhodes Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 7:25 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Wot, no Kopprasch? After Hurricane Katrina, we find ourselves now residents in a new city in a new state. Yesterday, I visited a large music store with the intention of replacing some lost music. Imagine my shock and horror when I found out that there were NO Kopprasch volumes in stock! I was not affected personally, since I am able to play the entire set of etudes from memory ("mit great ease, of course," as Prof. Schmutzig says). However, just think of the aspiring young musicians here growing up without Kopprasch - a shocking situation. Ronald V.
