RE: [Hornlist] stage fright
Squeezing the "RING" means something different, David. It would mean "the Ring without words". I played a version which last a whole concert evening, but there is also the other version by Lorin Maazel, lasting just the length of one CD. When I mentioned the "ring muscles" I meant the one on the rear end not at the front end.

Re: [Hornlist] Geyer trademark
On the radio, I heard about some folks who cleverly named their coffee shop Federal Espresso. Before long the Federal Express people heard about it & sicced lawyers on the coffee shop folks, threatening court action if the name wasn't changed. The coffee shop folks went to their own lawyer, who told them (in effect), "You have an excellent case. Now, how much justice can you afford?" So rather than paying all the attorney fees they would rack up in a court fight against Federal Express, they wisely gave in & renamed their coffee shop. Now they call it Freedom Of Espresso. -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA.

[Hornlist] Capriccio moonlight music and Horn, Violin, Cello, Piano "songs"
First of all, let me second Hans' admonishment to the young woman preparing a recital to be a bit more discerning in her use of the word "song". It's just a few steps down that slippery slope to where we are calling everything "tunes" and no one can spell "embouchure" or "Farkas" (sorry, I just had to bring that up again). What I really wanted to say was look for a copy of Strauss's humorous set of songs (note the usage of the term) based on the music publishing business, Kraemerspiegel, op. 66 (1918). One of the songs, I don't recall which, has an extended piano interlude which is the source material for the Capriccio horn solo. One can easily extract the horn line from this and have a serviceable (and extremely beautiful) work to play. Strauss must have had great affection for this piece to have recalled it nearly three decades later to orchestrate it in its new context. I think I have even heard a horn recital recording that used this as a basis for a horn and piano selection, though I doubt it was ever legally published in this form. To John Schreckengost who was also looking for piano trio plus horn music, I believe there is a piece by Franz Doppler, though it may require a flute (like just about everything else he ever wrote) and there are the Fibich Quintet and Dohnanyi Sextet that require one or two assisting artists but are big-time romantic works that don't get played all that often (and some people may have even possibly heard of good ol' Zdenek and Erno). Also try looking in the various horn literature bibliographies available. You probably can get them either at your university's library or use them to get them through ILL.

RE: [Hornlist] Music for Violin, Cello, Horn and Piano
A suggestion that I have made here from time to time will work for this
combination. Many standard trio sonatas scored for two soprano
instruments, bass and/or figured bass will work nicely when the horn takes
the 2nd soprano line. That is usually intended to be another violin part,
or oboe or blockflute; often the instrumentation is left open to the
discretion of the players.
The horn would most likely have to be transposed to C-basso, not C-alto,
and so would sound an octave lower than the composer had in mind, but
nonetheless there are many TS's that still sound quite well.
The pianist will count the piano part as somewhat unchallenging by
comparison to pieces written for piano, but as these sonatas are composed
by guys with names like Telemann, Vivaldi, Quantz, Stamitz, Loiellet, and
Bach, the music is reliably crowd-pleasing. Especially when spectators
look up to see a Geyer-wrap(TM) oboe in the mix.
If anyone is interested, I can list a few TS's that I know work well for
horn, even for two horns - that is, replacing both soprano parts with
horn. Think double horn concerto, like Vivaldi's, but nicer.

RE: [Hornlist] Fw: Introduction to the Final Scene of Capriccio byStrauss - again
Some people are quite strange with their selection of "songs" for some recital. Also using the term "song" is very strange to be used for a piece of music. These are fundamentals to learn !!! An orchestral piece is not a "song". And the program for a recital is NOT a "songlist". By the way, this famous but taxiing solo near the end of the one piece opera of two hours (R.Strauss) is just soft but of two very very long phrases. So many people get trouble arriving near the end of the solo & keeping the high sound quality & also a sound (healthy) quality. Otherwise there is no difficulty. If a player has arrived at a playing standard ready for this solo, he or she has not to practise or study that much. It is very easy from the reading aspect. It is slow. Not forcing any high dynamics, but still killing the embouchure by the slow tempo & the long phrases & notes. As a solo piece, well, not problematic at all, but at the end of the opera, the highlight, where everybody is waiting for, it is a different thing. We did it the night when Herbert von Karajan died & Wolfgang Sawallisch dedicated the performance in memoriam of his colleague. Unbelievable, Sawallisch had problems to announce that & had tears in his eyes, - so we had. I was so fortunate, to play von Karajans last concert, Bruckner no.7 with the Vienna Phil (published with DGG), jumping in at last minute. - Original Message - From: "Mark A Engen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 10:30 PM Subject: Wondering if you could help > Professor Schreckengost, > > Hi, this is Brittany Engen again.
