[Hornlist] Sioegried Idyll 2nd horn long note

2006-11-19 Thread YATESLAWRENCE
Last night we played the Siegfried Idyll.
 
My second horn didn't manage to play the extrememely long low note at the  
end in one take.
 
Does anybody?  One of my colleagues told me that he had seen a BBC  orchestra 
play this piece and the note was shared between the two horns. Is this  the 
usual way of coping with this, does one develop a set of gills, or take  
breaths as my second did.
 
Cheers,
 
Lawrence

I have done it, and I believe it was Aaron Paul playing second when I 
was conducting the Berkeley Chamber Orchestra who was also was 
successful. Actually, it's not that hard. It's not like you have to 
change notes, or something. I use self-hypnosis in that situation, and 
the real problems is remembering to stop.

One more thing, It helps to have a sympathetic conductor who is 
listening to you, and knows what you can do.


This is a good time to rant about incompetent conductors, but we already

RE: [Hornlist] Fidelio horns

2006-11-19 Thread hans
Fidelio No.9 Aria Abscheulicher, wo eilst Du hin ... - if
you dont know this piece  if you are a mere Bb-horn player,
I wish you much pleasure with this aria. It is THE
audition piece for every horn player here.

Regarding Siegfried Idyll: why not breaking the long held
note into two pieces by breathing up-beat-wise  (just
before the last beat in a measure. If the second player does
not splash in with the note, no problem, but who knows. If
the conductor insists, that the note be held, something
might go wrong with the 2nd horn, so the conductore can
notice the breath. If he cannot notice it, because it is
done perfect, make him responsible for every health problem
inb the future, personally solely responsible, if he insists
for the held note. This works. It is a musical bow, not a
deeo diving competition.

I know about two Scotsmen doing a diving competition to win
50.- Pounds.   both still under water, but dead.

Why is that, Carl? That part can't be taken faster. We just played 
the piece and there's places to breathe, coinciding with the entry of 
other instruments. That Eb can't be played too softly or why bother 
playing it?

RE: [Hornlist] Fidelio horns 2

2006-11-19 Thread hans
The Aria no.9 is in E, - and a fingering nightmare for mere
Bb-horn-users. Special attention should be kept on the
sixtyfouth scale before the fermata. The Adagio goes in 4,
while one should insist with the conductor, to conduct
sixteenth in the measure before the fermata (the one with
the scale), as did Karl Boehm, Sawallisch, Mehta, Kempe etc.
If you rehearse this aria, do it together with the first
bassoon, which is taking the fourth part of a quartet, do it
with the conductor just minutes before the concert. We did
it before every performance. It will give you more security
- AND more confidence for the (often shitless scared)
conductor.

Continue after the fermata with slow, but not too slow four.
The first half measure in the last measure before the
Allegro goes in sixteenth again so to place the triplets
clearly. Obey much the sfp makings  the pp.

The Allegro is con brio in two beats but not a rush, but
brilliant, so never to use a thick or loud tone. Obey the
dotted eights exactly as they are written. From 5th measure
on it is a must to play everything light  short. No
exaggeration on the ff mark measure ten. A good forte would
make it anyway. Take care for the entrance in Measure 20 (
g#, b-nat, b-nat), all in tempo. M.17 requires a strict
rhythm for the syncopes. 

There is the piu lento marking. The entrance in the 4rth
measure from there is a bit held back. And again the Tempo
I. light  exact in rhythm. Tempo holds back the measure
before the fermata. Breath fast  do the upbeat in tempo
like at the beginning of the allegro. 

The 2nd horn has to keep much attention upon the E-major
scale (it is B-natural-major for us reading from the view of
the F-player). Do not rush here, and special do not rush
when jumping down from the climax the measure before the
last fermata. And up we go again with the scales, where all
three arew involved  be synchronized very well. Keep a bit
of power reserved for the last three measures, if you play
first horn, so not to break your neck at the high
b-naturals. 

I forgot to tell, that the entrances of all three horns at
the beginning of the aria no.9, coming all one after the
other with four eights difference, can be in a sound piano,
never timid.

Try playing it on the F-side mostly (it is 2nd valve mostly)
 use the Bb-horn as a welcome helping tool.

Second horn has a nice octave slure during the 12th measure
of the Adagio  two nice 32th scales few measures later, the
one scale a chromatc one.

Insist that the soprano does not behave as one of these
towing goats often met.

Have done Fidelio 220 times on first horn  manytimes on 2nd
horn, with the most famous sopranos ever  under many famous
conductors, about 50times under Karl Boehm on single F
Pumpenhorn

Hi Wendell,
I feal very happy about that  I was given the chance to encourage someone
with my story . It took me quite a long time to get convinced that with my
former I would find myself , within a short period in the end of the road as
a horn player.At that point i was 28 ,  warried ,  married and jobless.
Atthe time i made the dcision my ambsure was far up the uppere
lip.Ihave started my change, and soon enough I had to work in the most
owfull
jobs ever-like being a kitchen worker in a resturant and such.Shortly after
I have accomplished the changeI was accepted to a principal horn position in
a chaqmber orchestra and some six years after words I found myself as a
first horn in the Israel Camerata - playing quite often as a soloist and a
recitalist , and very active almost inevery field of musical life in Israel
- from classical to rock music . i do remember moments of despair but I know
how to cherish them now - it takes a lot of pressure to turn coal into a
diamond.
yours,

Thanks Hans,
 
I play very little opera - the last time I played Fidelio was a concert  
version about twenty years ago and I can't remember a thing about it except 
that  
the conductor lost his score between the rehearsal and performance.
 
It turned out that it wasn't that aria we were playing tonight so we  didn't 
need a third horn (the fixer, working on the instructions of the  conductor, 
didn't know how many horns we needed)
 
But yes, I am only a Bb player anyway!  :-)  (well, most of the  time anyway)
