Thanks for sharing your recollections of Arthur. This sounds like the Arthur Goldstein I knew. Obviously, it was.

Almost everything I ever knew about horn playing I gained from the Schmutzig Method. My technique relies heavily on his einschmutzen mouthpiece placement, my grasp of orchestra repertory was nurtured by hours of intense work on the excerpt from Til Eulenschmutzig, and to this day I always use the Schmutzclef method whenever I need to transpose, and often when I don't need to. I never met him, but I had indirect contact with him when I played the show Pippin in Boston just after it left Broadway. At the first rehearsal, the conductor told the orchestra that they would probably be bored of the show after a week, except for the horns, who were in for a special treat. And indeed we were. Goldstein had played horn in the show, and had used his copious free time to annotate the horn part. It was like an illuminated manuscript. One page was nothing but puns on the names of different kinds of horns. (I still remember the Reich Kruespe.) There were drawing showing ludicrous aspects of horn technique. There were pages offering parodies of the dialogue of the show, and silly lyrics written under the horn notes. It was really great. I didn't get bored of the show until almost two weeks had passed. I wish I had stolen that part. I hope someone, somewhere, saved it. If anyone on the hornlist has it, let me know, so I can steal it from you.
