Re: [Hornlist] Das Horn bei Mozart
Hello Kit, any book on demand requires the complete lay-out work done before, requires also a basic investment not below 1.000.-, They it up all the price except a small commission to the author, which accumulates to re-pay the initial investment only after 100 to 200 copies are sold. The author has done all the work but gets quite no profit. I will explore other possibilities, where I can have full control about the production, where I can start with a minimum order of ten copies for a reasonable price. If the book is distributed directly only without book stores, the price will look much better, as these sellers expect a 40% dealers discount or more. Will keep the list informed. Format will be changed off course, as these printers will not do square format, only regular book format. Financing binding 10 copies at one single order, well, should be manageable. Will try to make a new lay-out after years end, means early in January. Shipping single books will not be that expensive, as book rate is 6.-EUR/kg + registered (all airmail), so to be affordable. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

The book has been well preserved by the excellent cover that was provided with it.

Re: [Hornlist] "Das Horn bei Mozart"
The book was published as limited edition of 1.100 numbered copies back in 1980. It has not been reprinted since, but been sold out since for a long time. I am not going to reprint it, despite earlier plans, but the resonance with the horn community was just as few rain drops in the Sahara desert, well over the years some dozen. But this would not finance such a project. I still work on redoing it, including updates, but it would be "book on demand" only and not be cheap (over USD 100.- surely). In takes time, off course. And as a retired I am not in a position, to invest some 25.000.- USD or more in a single project (printing 500 copies some 5.000.- EUR + binding 12.500.- EUR + .). And where to store 500 big books ? How long would it take to sell 500 copies ? Book on demand, perhaps. I skipped the possibility to publish it as DVD due to the fact, that there is no financeable copy protection. Very sorry for the less good news.

[Hornlist] A Devil to Play / shameless plug for my friend Jasper Rees
Good afternoon listmembers, As the holidays approach I'd like to remind everyone that "A Devil to Play" (the US version of "I Found My Horn"), by Jasper Rees, will be generally available in the States as of December 2. I have read the UK release and thought that Mr. Rees, who is a journalist by trade, skillfully described his quest for hornistic achievement (trying to get through the slow movement of K447 at a British Horn Society function after a 20 year lay-off) while dealing with cultural stuff related to playing the horn in the US and abroad. So, for anyone who ever had to face a midlife crisis (or anticipates having to do so someday), or anyone who wants to get the inside scoop on how some of the horn world's movers and shakers think/behave, or anyone who just desires the real details on Leutgeb's relationship to WA Mozart that only a dedicated researcher can provide, this book should be the first thing on your holiday shopping list. For yourself. For your therapist. For a friend or family member or non-horn playing significant other who long ago gave up on seriously trying to understand you . . . this book may provide closure. It will make a great gift. Buy it for the holidays. Or better yet, get someone to buy it for you. Think of it as an investment. I suppose that it's even theoretically possible that, one day, long after the play based on "I Found My Horn" has completed it's run on the West End (yes, someone saw fit to produce a stage version of the book), and Jasper is internationally famous, the person in your life who you will need to impress the most will comment on Jasper's latest project and you will say: "oh yes, I've been reading him for years, in my opinion his early horn related stuff was his best work".

This is a marvelous opportunity for us in this area to have an experience w/ a master teacher. I flew down to San Jose last summer for a lesson with Wendell. In that ONE lesson I learned more about proper breathing & producing a good horn sound than I had learned in several years of private lessons with well qualified instructors. Wendell truly is a master teacher with an emphathetic, supportive approach that instantly put me at ease.

[Hornlist] Piccolo "horns"
I've been told these piccolo horns are really glorified flugal horns. It is wrapped & given rotary valves to look like a mini French horn, but is really in the trumpet/cornet/flugal horn family (Bb soprano). The mouthpiece can be a horn type mouthpiece as is a flugal horn mouthpiece. Some of these are deeper cup trumpet mouthpieces that mimic a horn mouthpiece (sort of a cross between an alto horn mouthpiece and a true horn mouthpiece cup). They are made by Berkelely Wind Instruments out of China. I've also heard that the guy who owns Berkeley has made some decent horns, but they are scarcely available. Here's link to a place they can be found: http://gosuperdvd.stores.yahoo.net/professional-piccolo-french-horn-u-never-seen-before.html This guy in the you-tube video < http://youtube.com/watch?v=qJLNxMywgq0 > does a great job playing it w/ horn styling,though. My guess is that horn players would have difficulty playing it as well as he does because we'd have to learn a new technique. (Some one please correct me if this is wrong.)

[Hornlist] RE: A Brass Study Is A Brass Study?
The only one I've used is Clark's Technical Studies for Trumpet (or cornet). I like Clarks becuase it has simple finger patterns repeated in EVERY key, starting low & moving up chromatically, so I don't have to waste time learning difficult new tunes just to improve my finger dexterity. Another advantage is that I don't have to wear out my chops pounding away at super high stuff passages. I went to the music store today to p/u Arban's trumpet method, but they didn't have it in stock. I did however see some other very interesting books. There's a Clark's for bass cleff which contains many of the same exercises but in bass cleff. However, I purchased a book of "Kopprasch Studies for Trombone w/ F Xxtension", which covers a broader low range. It contains many of our familiar & BELOVED [*snicker, snicker*] Kopprasch etudes for horn, so it will be easier for me to focus on improving fluency reading bass cleff because I already "know them."

[Hornlist] RE: Tight as can be...
If it's a grip issue, I might be able to help. I had a grip problem when I came back to horn 2 1/2 years ago. I was playing a Holton 179 & my left hand would get painful cramps from gripping & holding this heavy instrument. The cramping most definitely impaired my technique. I tried various commercially made straps & found they added too much bulk and made it even more difficult for my short fingers to reach the levers. I fashioned a strap made of thin cotton cloth that anchors on the pinky hook enabling me to play the horn w/o putting my pinky into the hook. Because the weight of the instrument is supported by the "crotch" between the thumb & first knuckle, there's no pain, strain or cramping. I gave one of my straps to another small female horn player and also another to my 11 year old student. It solved grip & cramping problems for them as well. If you think this might be the issue, contact me off list.

I couldn't agree more w/ Sandra & the others on this thread. When I first came back to horn, I was having quite a bit of difficulty especially w/ 16th note passages.

W/i a week or two I was playing & sight reading 16th note passages w/ dramatically improved proficiency and ease. I now play Clarks almost every day. Another example: I used to play circles around one of my horn colleages. Suddenly, w/i just a couple weeks, she seemed to take off like a shot w/ lightening fast fingers playing circles around me.

[Hornlist] MPC & tone quality
I read a paper by Froydis W. that said something to the effect that the mouthpiece (mpc) you play has more to do w/ your tone quality than the horn you play. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) I recently had an experience that supports this idea. I met w/ a horn friend recently to check out our new gear -- our horns. I recently purchased a rose bronze Holton Merker and he'd just purchased a new Atkinson Erfert. The other guy had an absolutely gorgeous tone on his Atkinson horn. We traded horns, but not mouthpieces. To my surprize, he sounded almost exactly the same on my Merker as he did his Atkinson -- AND -- I sounded almost exactly the same on his Atkinson as I did on my Merker! It wasn't until we traded mouthpieces that we both sounded significantly different. His mpc is a Bach 7 & mine is a Farkas DC. His tone was bright & mine was very dark by comparison. I'm sure this isn't much of a revelation to the mouthpiece ghuru's out there, but it was a shocking revelation to me. The interesting thing though, is when I played his horn w/ his mpc I didn't sound like him. And, when he played my horn w/ my mpc, he didn't sound like me. Hmmm... I wonder what this all means...??

[Hornlist] Fuzzy and Sloppy Attacks
Michael, I came back to horn 2 1/2 years ago after not playing for 33 years.
My sputtery, splatty attacks the first few months were just horrid. As I
persisted, they became cleaner & smoother. I think your sloppy attacks will
improve over time. Others may disagree, but I don't believe tongue placement
contributes to sloppy attacks nearly as much as the quality of the lip
vibration. I believe the greatest contributor to sloppy attacks is an
inefficient, out of shape embouchure that's taxed beyond it's conditioning.
I usually tongue on the back of my upper lip, but sometimes I tongue on the
back of the teeth or even higher depending on the sound I want. My attacks are
rarely fuzzy or sloppy unless I've been over playing, over woodshedding too
much on high passages. I believe your attacks will improve w/ time as your
embouchure shapes up. Be gentle & don't push yourself too hard.
One thing I do every day that I made a huge improvement in my attacks & overall
tone is the Wendell Rider warm up ("Real World Horn Playing") every day. An
appropriate warm up is the key for healthy, efficient chops. Included in
Wendell's warm up are air attacks, timed rest periods and a slow gentle
approach. Especially at my age, somewhere beyond 50, these elements are
essential for flexible & efficient chops.

[Hornlist] Opinion on Bach horns
I've heard that the student Bach double horns are really made by Yamaha. At least, that's what the music store owner told me. When I was looking for my first horn, I tried a new Bach double horn, but it didn't play nearly as well as the Holton 179, so I bought the Holton. I think the best deal any student can get for a first horn is a used Holton 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, etc. Overal, Holtons have an even & consistent response in all the registers and are easy to play in tune because the pitches "bend" easily. You definitely get more horn for you money if you buy a used Holton. After John Barrows tried a Holton 177, that's all he'd use. I shy away from Yamaha's because every one I know that plays one, has consistent intonation problems. Yamaha's are good for very skilled players, but I don't recommend them for students or amateurs like me. I play a Holton Merker 276 & a Holton 179. I get a beautiful sound out of both & have no intonation problems on these two horns. I played a Yamaha 667 for six months & was always struggling w/ intonation so I sold it. Just my 2 cents.

[Hornlist] community bands
I think it was Steve who wrote: It's a shame that all communities don't have a John Falskow, the new chairman of the music program at Tacoma Community College & director of it's community band & orchestra. He's a breath of fresh air for bands and orchestras. He started the TCC Symphonic Band three years ago w/ only a handful of students & community musicians. It's grown to a full size symphonic band in a short time because Dr. Falskow keeps things interesting & always inspires us to do our best. His philosophy is that wind bands, being a rather new ensemble in the music world, should be cutting edge when it comes to repetoir. Dr. Falskow has instroduced us to some of the most fascination & interesting music imaginable. Very rarely does our horn section feel like we're playing "filler" stuff. Our parts are very challenging and interesting, and musically satisfying. For our next concert we're doing wind band music from Japan. We're playing pieces by Hiroshi Hoshina, Michio Mamiya, Yasuhide Ito, Akira Miyoshi, M.L. Daniels and Bin Kaneda. Always interesting, never boring; maybe a little confusing for the audience, but we gather a larger audience at every concert, so we must be doing something right! I laugh after every concert when I bring my 76 year old mother-in-law. When she hears something familiar (and we do play some traditional pieces) she always enjoys it. But when it comes to some of the comtemporary pieces she'll say, "I don't get it!" But she always comes back for more! ha ha ha! Dr. Falskow also introduced some very interesting pieces to the previously very traditional chamber orchestra, and we (at least the brass & percussion players) are loving the changes. (But, of course, I can't speak for the string players!) This Wednesday evening, I'm performing Kerry Turner's Quartet No. 1 as part of the chamber music concert w/ an American music theme. I can't wait to hear what Grandma Wells will have to say about it!

[Hornlist] RE: Brass Quintet
Steve, I'm new to this list but I know a lot about quintet playing. I'm a member of one of the very few full-time touring brass quintets. For sure horn players in brass quintet don't get many rests because there are too many notes to be played by too few performers. The higher brass need more rests than the lower brass, but when the trumpets drop out who's left to play the melody? We are. You may have come across the answer to your problem already: create your own arrangements. Throughout history, most small-ensemble music has been composed with specific performers in mind. Brass quintet arrangements are no exception, and if you buy something written for someone else it may not suit you. To make an arrangement with more rests your best bet is to start with music written for 3 or 4 parts. That way you won't be missing the composer's original intentions, and somebody can rest. Lots of classical music scores can be found for free on the internet, just include the words "public domain" in your search. I suppose if you didn't want to go to all that trouble you could buy quartet arrangements with flexible instrumentation, then take turns sitting out. Robert King is the most well known arranger of this type. Keep playing brass quintet!

[Hornlist] Brass quintet -- I want more rests........
I had to laugh out loud when I read this! I've never played in a brass quintet, but I regularly play in a larger brass ensemble, a horn quartet & a horn trio. I wish all arrangers of brass music were as smart & savvy as Kerry Turner. Mr. Turner distributes high parts between the 1st, 2nd & 3rd horn so no one gets excessively tired. My quartet can woodshed & crunch Turner's stuff for 2 hours & still have lip left. A few months ago, I performed w/ a horn trio. We did a variety of pieces that were written in the traditional style w/ 1st being the high horn & third being the low horn. We mixed things up so each of us were playing 1st one third of the time. We did an arrangement of Mendelson's Nocturne that was also written in the traditional style, but I rearranged it so that we changed parts four times during the piece. It was beautiful to have three different horn players singing the melody at different times and, of course, it was a whole lot easier than having one person do the whole 1st part.

[Hornlist] falling apart
What a coincidence! Last night at orchestra rehearsal our second horn player's 3rd valve Bb slide dropped to the floor while he was playing! He stopped playing, picked up the slide & replaced it before he continued. I've never seen that happen at a performance, though. Bless your heart! I'm impressed that you were able to keep playing in spite of your horn falling apart! Valerie _ Click to reduce wrinkles & lines.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Mouthpiece Scratch
Be sure, it will not be the last scratch. If scratches would affect the tone quality, every brand new mpiece should would be better, but lose its quality due to mini-ware Would you not better think, that the tone quality has more to do with the players embouchure Do not follow the old path of many players, blaming the equipment. It is not the equipment (except it is wrong completely), but it is more the player, who makes the tone. Next time somebody might ask, if a black dress is better suited to produce a darker sound than a greydress ???

[Hornlist] Mozart & Leutgeb
Hello all- I wanted to say thanks to all who responded to my inquiry. I have ordered Jasper Rees' book, and my library jot got 'Das Horn bei Mozart' in this morning. In response to Gary Green, I do realize how difficult from a musical-historical point of view it is to accurately understand people of a different land and different era. Maybe I didn't make it clear that this was for a *short* project just to get us used to searching scholarly journals/books and writing proper bibliographies. I wasn't hoping or needing more than about 1/2 to 1 page of information. I also realize that this then is a somewhat silly assignment, but it is what I have to do, and if I can learn a little about Leutgeb that is great. Again, thanks for your help, and when Jasper Rees' book gets in and I read it, I'm happy to share my thoughts about that here too.

Re: [Hornlist] Mozart & Leutgeb
David, there is not much info on this topic. We have the living dates of Leutgeb, the inserts of his name into the K.447, Mozarts own listing of his works with the remarks "Leitgebisches Quintett" (K407) & "Ein Waldhornkonzert fuer Leitgeb" (K495, some remarks in Mozart biographies (Jahn, perhaps) about Leutgebs activities in Paris, Milan & Frankfurt & Vienna. We know that Leopold Mozart lent him some money to open his Cheese business in Vienna. There is the inscription on K.417, the colored entries in K.495, the listing in the membership list of the Haydn Societaet in Vienna. There is the publication of the K.495 in Vienna obviously arranged by Leutgeb as competing edition to the "castrated" Andre first edition. All these info would not even fill a quarter page. What would be the purpose of such a research project ? My book is out of print since the late 1980ies. It should be in Pierpont Morgan Library in New York.

[Hornlist] Mozart & Leutgeb
Hello Listers - I am currently doing a short research project for a music history class. I've chosen to briefly investigate the relationship between Mozart and Leutgeb. I am writing to ask if anyone out there know of any good sources for information. I have "Horn", by Barry Tuckwell, and it has some info. The preface to the K417 Urtext Edition also has some information. Really what I am looking for are any primary sources or accounts of primary sources. My references must be from 'scholarly' places, so I've looked on JSTOR, RILM, Grove, WorldCat, Google Scholar, ebscohost and others through my school library. I've found some good material and some junk and a lot of irrelevant stuff. But does anyone out there have some quick ideas for information ? Mr. Pizka, does your book "Das Horn Bei Mozart" have information on Leutgeb ? If so how do I purchase a copy? I've not been able to find it for sale anywhere, and our library can't get it through inter-library-loan for at least a month.

[Hornlist] Chinese instruments
Speaking of Chinese made horns, Kit wrote: "A couple of years in the future when the manufacturers learn what they're doing, these instruments may start to become quite acceptable." I agree. I'm one who's actually optimistic about the future of Chinese instruments. I'm old enough to remember when "Made in Japan" stamped on a product meant it was junk. But now "Made in Japan" means top of the line for many products. I believe the Chinese instrument makers will eventually find that making better quality products is not only more satisfying, but also more profitable than making junk.

Re: [Hornlist] CSI
They used these horns for violent demonstrations, not for playing as you might assume, they used it to throw them against the authorities. And be aware, even wearing black gloves instead of white ones will leave no traces on the horns surface. The producer supplied white gloves as they thought black gloves would leave traces easier (black & white just thought as colours, - has nothing to do with people). One has to be aware, that the valve rotors might jump out of their casings during the most delicate solo by surprise, as there was a miscalculation during their revolutionary design HP ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Idaho a cultural vacuum? I don't think so.
A few months ago, a student attending BYU-I in tiny, obscure Rexburg, Idaho was searching for a natural horn to play for her senior recital. If I remember correctly she credited the difficulty of the search possibly to Idaho being a cultural vaccuum. (Can't remember her exact words, so I hope you catch my drift.) Well ... I beg to differ. Tuesday evening I had the opportunity to hear the touring BYU-Idaho Sinfonietta perform the 4th mvt of Mahler's 5th, Vaugh William's 5 Variant's on the Lazarus theme, a Dvorak string Suite & a few other pieces I can't recall. It was stunning, flawless, gorgeous. I've never heard students perform so well; they sounded like pros. It was a very moving experience. My only disappointment w/ the program was there were NO HORNS! I was hoping to hear the student who was looking for the organic blaster. Anyway, if Idaho is a cultural vacuum, the suction is seriously compromised in Rexburg. Bravo Idaho!

Re: [Hornlist] Looooow F on Vienna Horn?
Hello Mark, sorry I do not find my CDs with all the Mahler parts. Can you scan the relevant page & send me as an email attachement, please. Pls rush as I will leave for USA next thursday. Anyway, I doubt if he used the written low F below low C. It is possible on the F horn but a very weak note: 123 plus right hand & lips. This would not be of any effect. as I do not remember much Mahler (I am not a great Mahler fan), the part would be of great help. But Mahler was in Vienna that time. Stiegler was there & Romagnoli. It makes no sense to me. And is it important ??? Waiting for your reply.
