RE: [Hornlist] Military Etude Book (Horn Vacancy)
Milton, I'll see if we have something like that tucked way in our library files...I'm curious, what was it used for? Was it an audition book?

Do you suppose there might be an old copy lying around someplace. The one for French Horn in f of coarse. I had a copy many years age, but as with a lot of music, who knows where it is hiding. Good luch on your search.

[Hornlist] Dennis Brain and Acoustics
Joe, Can you explain this to me? It's not in my Farkas book... Jeanie From the Horn List: According to http://www.hornharmonics.com/Helpful_Hints.html , Dennis Brain used to sit the length of his horn uncurled (the site claims 12 ft. 9 in. ) from the nearest wall in order for his playing to have the best acoustics. This is a bit confusing to me, and I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light into /why/ this may have been effective. At first, I thought he was trying to minimize the amount of destructive interference and cancellation of the lower harmonics from the reflection off the wall; however, he would only have to stand approximately a quarter of the wavelength of the fundamental of the note he is playing away from the wall (assuming the wall is reasonably rigid, causing a phase flip upon reflection). And even so, this is if the bell of his horn is parallel with the wall behind him. Once the angle between the bell and the wall begins to increase, destructive interference becomes less and less of a problem for the lower harmonics (higher harmonics are less affected due to their relatively short wavelength). Of course, since harmonics whose wavelengths are comparable to the width of the bell (thus, lower harmonics) are refracted in all directions, would this even be perceptible to the audience? What could this exact distance of the length of the horn mean then? This would be the wavelength of the lowest harmonic on the French Horn, but this isn't often accessed in normal playing. These are just my thoughts on the matter, I would love to hear what others that are more educated think about this. Am I totally thinking about this in the wrong way?
