Mark- I heard the Vienna Philharmonic play Mahler's Third symphony in Carnegie hall about 5 years ago.? One player took out the regular F crook of his horn and played those written low? E's on an A crook.
On the Bernstein DVD of this symphony Hans Berger is playing a b-flat horn so I'm sure he handled those low E's perfectly.

Lieber Herrn Hans Pizka! Koennen Sie Mir bitte Helfen? I'm not sure how to post to you privately, but perhaps others on the list will find this question of interest. I play a Vienna Horn and my community orchestra has programmed Mahler's 4th for our next program. I've been assigned 3rd Horn since the pedal F notes in the 2nd and 4th parts are generally not assumed to be playable on a single F horn. I was hoping you could provide me with the solution used by Vienna Horn players for this not, since these parts were in all likelihood written for them.
