RE: [Hornlist] Endurance
You brought some very valuable arguments. Yes, posture is very important, as one has to avoid any CRAMPING which results in terrible fatigue. But another thing: why all this complain about missing endurance ? If you play very, very demanding things (many hours opera, very long symphony), you are worn, no matter how you are prepared. You will be tired not only in the embouchure but as the whole person. That is normal. But one has to learn & experience how to master this fatigue so playing again is possible the next day or after the intermission. There are situations, when you think, "I will not make it through", but you do it, you will go through the difficulties, bruised a bit perhaps, but you make it. Complaining does not help. Thousand years of excess practise will not help. Go through. It might hurt, yes, off course, it does, but you have to watch the light at the end of the tunnel & go thee to the exit. That´s it. "What´s not killing you, makes you harder !" And remember, "there is no mom in the concert, where you can go & hide behind". Real life is that like. -But practise is good allways. Had a discussion with my young colleague, who took over my job as the leader of the section last summer. We both wondered about an extern colleague playing the 2nd act of Goetterdaemmerung. We never heard anybody warming up this crazy just by making a lot of noise, like a racing car engine, b-b-brr-brr etc. - ands how long. Johannes Dengler, my successor, has a special beautiful tone as has Christian Lampert, but he said also, "I do warm up as you did, just a few notes & two scales perhaps to check if the embouchure is in order. If not so good, well do a few things more." -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WIlliam Botte Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 11:02 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Endurance Nobody has commented on posture yet. Are you stiff and tense, laidback and casual, or carefully poised and attentive. Many times the hornists outward appearance reflects their inward attitude. Hans has addressed attitude. An incorrect atitude can have a detrimental affect on your posture, deminishing your endurance. --wabotte ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Cabbage on the Road
Professor Cabbage takes his show on the road to Texas, speaking at Trinity University (San Antonio) Tuesday, April 4; and at Rice University (Houston) Wednsday, April 5. Both talks are in the afternoon, hosted by the Physics departments of those schools. Oops! I need to find a copy of the piano accompaniment for the Tuckwell edition of the Mozart concerti - I intend to perform the d major rondeau (the one on which Mozart wrote remarks to Leutgeb). If you have a copy to loan me - especially if you live in the SF Bay area, or near San Antonio, please contact me ASAP. Contact me off-list if you are interested in learning how to avoid the talks, or if you can loan a copy of the Mozart/Tuckwell. Many thanks. Gotta go, Cabbage ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

RE: [Hornlist] French Horn "sayings"
Steve, There's always the standard, "What's the difference between an orchestra and a cow? - On a cow, the horns are at the front while the [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s at the back!" I think you'd need a long pencil though, and our definition of "cute" might not coincide! ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
