[Hornlist] Re: difficulty factor
I guess that the difficulty factor of an instrument can be used in both good and bad ways, the teacher has to really know the personality of the student. Personally I took it as a point of pride that I could play the hardest instrument well. It may be completely discouraging to others. I remember reading an interview with David Ohanion, who said that (paraphrased) it was the only instrument that he had to work on, all the others were too easy. (His father was a school band director.) I can ask him this saturday at Osmun's at the horn choir session, which I highly recommend to any and all who can be there that afternoon. paxmaha Gregory L.

The best description I've heard about Difficulty factor was, all instruments are difficult to play beautifully. Horn is just easier than most to sound bad. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Re: 5 tips...
That depends on the student. A few kids want the challenge and rise to it. I switched to the horn from trumpet because the orthodontic braces hurt me while playing the trumpet. Go figure. The music teacher knew I was ornery and needed the challenge. I guess the point is that you can't generalize. How's that for a generalization? Herb Foster --- Gregory L.

[Hornlist] Cryogenic enhancement
The following message, reproduced in its entirety, appeared in the hornlist digest today. message: 21 date: Tue, 14 Oct 2003 00:52:17 EDT from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject: [Hornlist] Re: Cryogenics -- *** Bravo! Here is an example of cryogenic enhancement of an email posting. If you slowly cool your messages to liquid nitrogen temperatures, they gradually shrink until they reach equilibrium. A message in equilibrium is one whose words exactly match the content. When the message is warmed to room temperature, it does not expand again, because it has been optimized so that it perfectly conveys its meaning in the minimum number of words. Clearly CORNO911's originally message was utterly devoid of content. Luckily for us, however, he or she thoughfully had the message cryogenically enhanced, resulting in the eloquently terse posting we actually received. Unfortunately, many posters find it necessary to use a great many words to convey their content-free thoughts. But notice how much more effective CORNO911's posting is at conveying its meaning than it would have been using a great many words. If more list members would treat their messages in this way, the tone of our discussions would be remarkably enhanced.

The hornist, Peter Luff, is a phenomenal player and a great guy to boot. You would definitely enjoy his performances and classes. Anyone interested in concerts or classes can feel free to contact me at the University of Arkansas.

[Hornlist] langauage choices on the list
Most of you have probably noticed a few irregularities in the horn list lately, particularly those who subscribe to the digest version. I installed the most recent update of the mailman list server software on September 30, and discovered with the password reminders that were sent out the next day that mailman's Japanese language support is broken in this most recent version. Over the past two weeks I've been trying several different patches to the program, but any that fix the Japanese problem create some others. I must apologize to our Japanese speaking subscribers, but until Mailman comes out with a bug fix I must remove Japanese from the list of language choices for horn list subscribers. I'm very sorry to have to do this, since Japanese is the second most popular language of choice on the list. I have temporarily changed all Japanese language preference settings to English. If any of you would prefer another language for your options page or password notices, please visit your options page at the address shown in the footer of this post. FYI, languages supported by the horn list include: Czech Danish German English Spanish Finnish French Hungarian Italian Korean Dutch Norwegian Polish Portuguese Portuguese (Brazilian) Russian Swedish Sorry for the hassle, Dan Dan Phillips Professor of Horn, University of Memphis site administrator: music.memphis.edu ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
