Re: [Hornlist] Krazy horn
Hello Dave, you said it perfectly, but you forgot one last criteria: aesthetics. The instrument must fit to all specifications have an aesthetic design too. It can be made. We have enough modern examples by good makers. But there is no maker in the world, who could compensate the users failure. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] RE: Krazy horn
But not the valve slides ! The maintuning slide is conical as it is on carefully built horns. This means, the crook between the two different shanks (a thinner a wider) is conical, which seems necessary with shorter leadpipes, but not conical valve slides . They would not make any sense, as they would not be adjustable. How should they hold in place ? What is the purpose of valve slides ? To adjust the additional tubes if the main tuning slide is pulled out (usually) or in. The WAH WAH WAH WAH comes from the player, as a plain tube cannot Wah-wah, as the plain tube is DEAD material. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Might it be something like 10 original works vs. 500 suitable works for other instruments? Speaking of music in general for instruments other than the horn, I don't know about others, but I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for works for other instruments such as Weissenborn book 2, Arban's, Bach Cello Suites, Telemann Canonic Sonatas, and Concone vocal works.

Greetings. I can add a very nice work for Horn and Flute. It's a composition by Marcel Bouchard entitled Champetre. It is a selection of movements. Since I do not read French, I can't begin to tell you the names of the Movements, but they are very playable and pleasant to listen to... I have a unique situation with one of my students. He has studied horn with me for over three years, and his twin sister plays Flute. They are high school seniors and wanted to find a work they could perform together at Michigan's Solo and Ensemble Festival. The young woman's name is Peggy and her flute private teacher found this work for them to play, so Vinson and I began work on the horn part, and I've been coaching both of them during his lessons. The work is 4 various movements (due to time constraints they chose the first movement to play) . They have gone to the District level and received a first division rating, and this Saturday will perform it at the State level. If you are still interested, I will see them on Thursday and get the publisher's information and the names of all of the movements and post it on Friday.

First, ditto what Carlberg said. To restrict ourselves to music that doesn't have the word 'horn' written on it is to pass up experiencing most of the world's greatest music. Nothing against Duvernoy and Titl, et al., but they are inadequate replacements for Vivaldi, Telemann, Stamitz, ... The one Telemann trio sonata for flute and horn is light fun, but it isn't a great musical statement. It is a trio sonata dumbed down to accommodate the limitations of the horn of the time. In the only deeply musical musical movement of the piece - he made the horn tacet. Grab a flutist and play his C minor sonata and you can tell why Telemann tips Titl. The larger picture though involves widening our horizons, getting better educated, breaking down the walls that separate horn players from mainstream music. If your question carries a suggestion to reject OPM - Other People's Music, then you must explain what you think we gain by restricting ourselves. And if it is, then where do you draw the line? No more Beethoven Trio (2 oboes English horn), no more Bach Cello Suites, Kreutzer etudes, Kling duets, etc., etc., etc. sigh... A detail - I listed only one transcription, the Quantz trio.

Valerie offered This discussion is interesting. I read that the euphonium has conical valve slides. When you pull a valve slide it can only be replaced to it's original position (not tuning link). It can't be reversed like standard valve slides because one end is larger than the other. I don't know if this is the case w/ all euphoniums or just some Anyway, doesn't a conical bore add WAH WAH WAH WAH to a brass instrument's playing characteristics? * Even if your horn has a conical bore, just install an Amado key or two, and ou won't have to worry about wah wah any more.

You can find it at Flute World on Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills, MI, Walt. I played it on a graduate recital.

Steve stammered: There were plenty of brass insturments built in the 20th century that had features that really did make them play better, but they were more expensive to produce that way. Now, this is true and I made the inventings of one myself and I made the writings of this hereabouts many suns and moons ago, my 52 valve horn, one valve for each note, at $1000 per valve, which I called the AhCORdian, and it made all the revolutionings that industry, and even agriculture, could make the handlings of, even more than the Conn-O-Sax or the subcontrabass Tuba or the Heckelphone or even the triple horn (luxury or sports models, either one) which is a mere toy by comparison since it is valve challenged coming in at only 7 or 8 and requiring only the left hand for fingerings and my AhCORdian requires both hands to finger it, much like a double Keytar, if there was such a thing, and the bore was asymmetrical as well as convulsive and retrograded since each octave had is compensation for the others so that in effect, as the acousticians might say, it was psychotacoustical since every note was in tune with every other note and once you figured that out, you could play stopped without your hand in the bell, even, just by half-valveing on the Gbb side and Konzertstueck, Siegfried's longs and shorts, Mendelssohns Rockabye'bye Baby and even Till or Donkeyscheidt were a breeze, not to make the mentionings of Kopprasch No. 1, and if you had even more Gelt, you could have made the orderings of the Double AhCORdian, with two leadpipes (one pretty big and one kind of medium) and two bells (one double nickel plated silver and one bare brass unlacquered for purity of tone and both were cryogenically pre-aged for your sonic pleasure) which is played by two players and you all will please make the rememberings of the Double Horn Husband and Wife Team of Lipschitz and Klamakoff who were so well know, at least by some people, as they were true pioneers of music educationing taking music to the masses by their missionary work all over the globe and then they got a church orchestra gig in Zimbabwe playing first and second horns with equal aplomb so they could put on their resumes that they had held missionary positions and the like and then they came out with their text book for the horn, the Corma Sutra which is still popular today and available in the back rooms of book stores and cigar shops everywhere as well as on the internet and that book also explains why the divorce rate is unusually high amongst horn players and how to prevent it.
