[Hornlist] Pichl
Hi All The music of Pichl is very nice. I've recorded some of his symphonies on Naxos with The Toronto Chamber Orchestra conducted by Kevin Mallon. Some nice horn parts. I will have to look up the chamber music, as I was pleasantly surprised by the orchestral stuff. Take care.

Re: [Hornlist] Quick question about cleaning.....
The best thing for this is graphite. Just run a soft pencil around the threads a couple of times. Chris Gongos I am washing my detachable bell horn for the first time since I bought it (the lead pipe was foul!) ANYWAY. The thought just struck me.does the screw bit need any kind of lube or special oil or anything? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Conn 8D bell
Hello Listers. Would anyone happen to have a Conn 8D bell that they would want to part with? I have a student who needs a bell (not just the flare, but the whole part back to the join.) Her bell is cracking in several places, right through the metal. Very strange. Has anyone else had this probelm with their horns?

Re: [Hornlist] Mozart cadenzas
Hello All, My favourite Mozart cadenzas would have to be Michael Holtzel's, both on his old recording and the ones that are printed in Herr Pizka's book. They are virtuosic, musical and tasteful.

Re: [Hornlist] Earplugs
Dear Fred, I recommend that you go to an audiologist and have proper earplugs made. There are some available that block out the most harmful of sounds, while the rest comes through quite well. Still not great for playing horn, as you tend to hear more of what is happening inside your mouth than anything else, but for the dangerous times, most worthwhile. Mine cost in the range of $175.00 (Canadian) I believe.

Re: [Hornlist] What should I do after really hard concert orperformance?
Hi Jan, In such a situation I have had good results from taking Ibuprophen (Advil) after a hard concert. It helps me with 'morning after the night before' chops. Be careful though, as not everyone can take Ibuprophen as it can be hard on the stomach. Playing wise, take it easy and allow for a long, gentle warm up. You can also apply gentle heat and cold, alternating to reduce swelling. And perhaps evaluate how you can modify your playing to be easier on your embouchure, even when the requirements of the concert are considerable.

[Hornlist] Wanhal Sinfonia
Hello Listers, A couple of weeks ago I asked for advice about a part in A-flat horn. I was concerned that the slow movement which had a really big horn part would be SUPER high. Well... just to let you know, turns out that the slow mvmt was horn in E-flat, and this fact was missing from the part. This made it very playable, only going up to a few B-flats. Whew.

[Hornlist] Wanhal Sinfonia
Hello Listers, A question to you all. I have to prepare a Sinfonia by Johann Baptist Wanhal. It is AE203, in A-Flat. The second movement has a rather involved horn part... marked in Horn in A-Flat. Does anyone know whether this should be A-Flat ALTO or BASSO? Unfortunately I don't have a score to consult. If it is ALTO, then I will have some high E-Flats(above high C) (written high Cs) to deal with.. YIKES! Has anyone played this piece, or does anyone have insight into Wanhal's tendencies, as far as range is concerned?

[Hornlist] David Cripps Masterclass in Toronto
David Cripps will be presenting a masterclass at the Faculty on Friday, February 28 from 3 to 5 p.m. in Boyd Neel. DAVID CRIPPS The British-born conductor, hornist and teacher, David Cripps, is one of the most distinguished and experienced performing musicians and pedagogues on the scene today. He began playing the horn at the age of fourteen, was quickly accepted into the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, where he became Principal Horn almost immediately, and made his solo début in London's Royal Festival Hall, performing Mozart's 4th Horn Concerto under the baton of Sir Malcolm Sargent. He was awarded an Open Scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he studied horn and conducting, winning all available prizes. There followed a succession of Principal Horn appointments - BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Hallé Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, culminating in a ten-year spell as Principal Horn in the London Symphony Orchestra. This period included the music directorships of André Previn and Claudio Abbado, and included guest conducting appearances of Bernstein, Ozawa, Böhm, Kubelik, and countless other luminaries. As well as many solo appearances with all these orchestras, he was involved in such diverse achievements as playing over thirty performances of Mahler's 5th Symphony with Claudio Abbado in UK and on tours around the world, and leading the Horn Section of the LSO in all the original soundtracks of the Star Wars and Superman movies with John Williams. David Cripps was Professor of Horn at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London from 1974 to 1983, and Senior Horn Tutor at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester from 1987 to 1996. He has coached and given master-classes all over the world. Additionally he was Brass and Wind Coach for the European Union Youth Orchestra, and was visiting Horn Coach at the Domaine Forget in Québec for three years. Since 1996 he has devoted more time to his conducting career - he has been Resident Conductor of the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra and has made guest conducting appearances with both the Royal Philharmonic and Philharmonia in London concerts, as well as appearances in Canada, including the Windsor Symphony, Ontario. He has not, however, relinquished his horn-playing or teaching - he made a triumphant return to Oman in January 2002, giving a widely-acclaimed performance of the Strauss 1st Horn Concerto, and he is in residence in Rochester, NY for the early part of 2003, as Associate Professor of Horn at Eastman School of Music. ___ Horn mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/listinfo/horn

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Yamaha 567
Hello Listers, Actually, most of the Yamaha horns now come with an adjustable thumb lever. I know that the 667V has had one for the past several years, and the new 668 II has that feature as well. All the best, Chris Gongos I've found that the 567, having an adjustable thumb lever, is especially nice for younger students with small hands. It would honestly be nice if Yamaha would extend that feature to their other horns. There are older players out there that have small hands too.
