[Hornlist] Digest Feedback
Let me levy a mild criticism of this e-mail site. One of the services that could be most helpful to many of us is that of sharing experiences in performance. This is particularly so when there are countless interpretations and misinterpretations of standard repertory. I recall one post asking about standing during the Mahler First and there was considerable feedback on this. (Is this musical interpretation?) On the other hand, when asking about Beethoven Symphony No. 3 and whether is was commonplace to have all three horns play a certain line together, only one digester(?) responded. The Beethoven 3rd is one of the most commonly performed pieces in the repertory of almost every professional and amateur orchestra...and we have only one comment? We in community orchestras usually have one or two performances of the major pieces. Usually it is a unique experience, e.g., Berlioz Symphony Fantastique, or God forbid, Rouse's Infernal Machine, so we count heavily on advice from our colleagues who may have performed this and others, before. If we can't get advice on this digest, then where? This is probably one of the largest collections of horn players who regularly talk with each other. Wish we did more of this rather than anecdotal information about Anna Russell (whom I dearly love as a comedienne) Let the games begin.

RE: [Hornlist] er: DG Recording of anonymous Konzertstueck
Ive seen a video of the Konzertstuck with Stephan Dohr Dale Clevenger and a couple of other players from the berlin Phil. The conductor was Barenboim with the Berlin Philharmonic. I dont believe the video is available in the states because the format had to be coverted for me to watch it.

Hi Jon, Although I'm not a working pro and I normally wait for folks who actually know what they are talking about to answer these questions however, I will jump in. In community orchestras I have played the Beet 3rd four different ways. 1. 2nd doubles 1st; 2. 3rd doubles 1st; 3. all the horns play in unison (hopefully in unison); and 4. 1st plays alone. I have never played it with an asst. 1st horn. I am looking at the copies of the horn parts from the last time I played it and the notes indicate that the 3rd horn doubles the 1st horn. My personal preference is to have all 3 horns play as it's the end of the piece and in community orchestras the first horn is probably getting tired and the 2nd and 3rd parts are probably lost in the mix anyway (and it's a nice little bone to throw to the 2nd and 3rd horns). Just my $.02 worth. Regards, Jerry in Kansas City (flame retardant suit ready) ___ Horn mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/listinfo/horn

This is true of just about any piece. I sometimes wonder how touring virtuosos can stand to play the same program four nights a week for an entire season, much less make the music sound fresh most of those times. Even the Goldbergs, last five Beethoven piano sonatas, Diabellis, and so on would wear thin after a while, I think.

RE: [Hornlist] Anna Russell

I sometimes wonder how touring virtuosos can stand to play the same program four nights a week for an entire season, much less make the music sound fresh most of those times. Howard makes an interesting point. On University of Michigan's five month cultural exchange concert tour to the Soviet Union et al we played 100 concerts and we played excerpts from My Fair Lady in almost all of them. We were all pretty much sick of it by the end of the tour. Before the tour, we were offered free tickets to a Broadway show of our choice. I can't remember any exceptions, we all chose My Fair Lady. When we got back to New York, we were very sorry for the choice, but we couldn't change it at that point. So we all grudgingly went to the show. You know what, we loved it! It was immensely refreshing to hear someone else perform it. Loren Mayhew \@() [EMAIL PROTECTED] (520) 403-6897 ___ Horn mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/listinfo/horn
