Please send the cl./hn. duets.  Thank you.

-- Original message from David Goldberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 A few years ago I offered to send listers copies of the Georges Fuchs 
 op.56 duets for horn and clarinet. This is a group of 24 pieces forming 6 
 duets. They are very 18th century - lots of noodles for both players. 
 The copies come from the Bibliotheque National de France. 
 
 In this electronic age, the paper is now scanned and I am happy to email 
 to anyone here who wants it. The package consists of an attachment of 17 
 jpgs totalling about 900K.

[Hornlist] Fuchs clarinet/horn duets - P.S.

2005-08-15 Thread David Goldberg
Several folks to whom I sent these duets might be missing clarinet page 8 
- I think I caught all and re-sent, but maybe not.  Let me know.


I have been sending as 17 separate jpgs, but now I will send as a single 
zipped file of these jpgs, unless you say not to.


Please don't ask for paper copy by post office mail.

David

[Hornlist] advice,please

2005-08-15 Thread amegenity
Very hot greetings from Florida! I have a question and need some input. I've 
played first chair for 8-9 years in a community orchestra. Last year we got a 
new conductor who instituted a schedule whereby we are to rehearse the day of a 
concert. Concert is at 3, rehearsal from 1-2pm,though it often runs to 2:30pm.
 Very rough on the lip even though I try to take it easy and save best 
efforts for actual concert. To me this is very unprofessional,as I think the 
time to learn what we need to know is at the four regular weekly rehearsals.  
Any thoughts?

Sounds like rough scheduling, but if you've got chops of steel (handy to 
have) then it shouldn't make much difference as a practical matter.


A couple of years ago I accidentally got myself signed up for back-to-back 
Christmas season brass quintet gigs with 2 different quintets that just 
happened to both have the same horn player -- me.  The gig that was 
supposed to be on Saturday turned out actually to be on Sunday, right ahead 
of the gig that was already set for Sunday.  So it goes.


Midway through the 2nd quintet gig, with my face starting to feel the 
strain, between tunes I said something to my colleagues about the bad 
scheduling, adding, Fortunately, I have chops of steel.


At that, our tuba player (the guy who calls the tunes) said, OK, Mr. Chops 
Of Steel, how about Le Basque as our next number?  I said OK  we lit into 
Le Basque.


Later on we added another arrangement of Le Basque to our quintet book, 
featuring tuba on the solo line, with horn, bone  trumpets playing 
boom-chick.  So far, however, the only version we perform is the 
horn-feature version.


BTW, whenever our large-ensemble conductor schedules a rehearsal-type event 
right before a performance, he's careful to refer to it as a sound check 
rather than a rehearsal.  But what's in a name anyway?

I am not sure what the question is? Do other orchestras rehearse the day of 
the concert and end a half hour before the concert starts, yes, I know several. 
Do those musicians complain, yes. Is this practice detrimental to the overall 
performance quality that an orchestra produces i would guess yes, but your 
organization did it for a year so you are in a better position than I to answer 
that question. Do you feel like your overall performance suffers then say 
something to the Maestro, play even less this year on the sound check ask for 
an 
assistant specifically because of the added rehearsal. I am assuming something 
got cut somewhere else maybe this is a money saving thing from management's 
side? Did you as musicians have a say in hiring this guy, maybe if you did not 
that should change.

Hi, Anne.  This is a lot more common than you might think.  It does 
happen with many community orchestras and sometimes with pro 
orchestras.  I have found myself running out of gas during the concert 
and it was pretty embarrassing.  I learned to dog it in these final 
rehearsals and save my chops.  Yes, play the solo spots in the 
rehearsals, but really cut back on the tutti stuff and accompaniments.  
After that, no more problems.  IF you have an assistant, turn him/her 
loose to play out during the rehearsal.


cheers, Paul Mansur

We have had a similar situation with our orchestra since the current
music director took over 9 years ago.  Because we are a community
orchestra, I can see why he wants to do thislast minute reminders
regarding the tougher spots and what should be done.  We have made him
aware that this is tough on the horns, and he is very good about asking
for very little from us during these pre-concert rehearsals.

[Hornlist] soldering

2005-08-15 Thread Alon reuven
Dear friends,
My horn came back from a repairman who has assembled it badly (the whole 
valve section was too high ) and than reassembled it again(this time the 
valve section is too low , and it seems like the instrument is stretched) 
.My question is:if I would take my horn to someone (better , I hope 
)wouldn't the heat created by the soldering action damage the metal? can an
instrument be assembled and than reassembled ?
thanks indeed ,

2005-08-15 Thread Leonard Brown
I saw this in an ad on Ebay for a single F horn, it gave me a few chuckles:


Please allow me to tell you that I do not know anything about this type of
instrument.  I asked a Public School Band Director about the horn and he
said it appears to be in the key of F or Bb.



I guess the public school band director was hedging his bets.

[Hornlist] Cheating

On Aug 14, 2005, at 10:00 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


I always have an auxilary main tuning slide for my
doubles.  It has additional tubing in order to bring the Bb side of  
the
horn down to A.  Then, I cross tune the horn, pulling the F side  
out to

bring it down to E.  Thus I have an E/A horn.

This makes all those E solos much easier (just play the notes without
transposition).  This is NOT cheating.  In fact a long time ago when I
play for Herman Baumann in a master class, he was very appreciative of
the fact that people do this.


Hi folks,
There is no such thing as cheating when it comes to fingerings. God I  
am tired of hearing this. Thank you Eldon.

Hey Kev,
I don't know how old you are, but maybe you will live to see the day  
when horns are digital and they will do all the transposing for you.  
Then you can be like the photography people I run into on the photo  
forums who complain about the fact that their expensive cameras don't  
turn out perfect pictures every time. The prevailing attitude is  
often: If I've spent this much on a camera it should give me better  
pictures than it does. Of course none of these people have ever  
studied anything about photography and don't see why they should have  
to.

Technology isn't everything, thank goodness.

I play in an orchestra that does exactly that. My assistant plays 90% of  the 
rehearsal and gets principal pay for the rehearsal. I play my solos and  
pretty much watch the music go by.
