[Hornlist] Re:Quick changing crooks
No pun intended. When I had the chance to play hand horn in a similar situation I taped two crooks (slides) together using a spacer of cardboard with one slide right side up and the other slide right side down. Then I could pull the slide, turn it end for end and insert the other one in a few seconds. On my orchestral hand horn with basic b flat alto pitch, The slide tubes were long enough to pull the slide to reach a half step lower in the high pitches (b flat to A). With a horn with terminal crooks I was playing often with the terminal crook and one or two couplers in place. So the chance consisted mostly of removing the terminal crook and then adding or removing the correct couplers, which for expediency would be hanging on my left arm. It was noisy when you had two on your arm so they had hankerchifs taped around them.

[Hornlist] Re: Brahms 2nd, Second Movement
This is about the only piece with horn parts in B natural ("H" in German).
Because it is unique and is often used in auditions I recommend that you
memorize the part. The same hold true for the 3rd and 4th horn parts in Brahms
Symphony #1, third movement which are also in H. I suggest that you write out
the part in F, Play along with a digital recording in which the recorded pitch
has not been altered, and absolutely memorize the part. When I sight read a
part in H basso, rare now-a-days, but does occur in some Verdi operas, I
transpose into B flat basso and mentally add sharps to every note. Regards.

Sussmayer, F. X. as you know was Mozart's copiest, and also a horn player. Probably the second horn player to Leitgeb when Mozart wrote the 12 Duets. Sussmayer went on to some fame as a composer of operas and operettas, and as a conductor in various opera houses. He did not write a horn concerto but did write one for clarinet and orchestra. Of interest to horn players other than his assemblage of the two concerto movements into what we know as Mozart's Concerto #1 in D, is a trio for Flute Viola and Horn. The manuscript contains the completed first two movements and sketches for the last two movements shows corrections which are obviously the instructions by Mozart.

[Hornlist] Re: Tschaikowsky Symphony #2
Tschaikowsky Symphony #2 the opening horn solo plays the folksong "Down my Mother Volga River". When I played it I took a breath at the end of the third measure, and again after the third beat of the fifth measure. One could also take a quick breath after the second beat of the seventh measure to emphasize the rubato in that measure. The two breath marks match the words in the song. Also in the third measure before A take a breath after the third beat ONLY if the winds also take a breath there. Finally at the end of the first movement the horn also has the melody, this time accompanied. Take the breaths as in the opening if the conductor indicates that in the phrasing of his/her conducting. Otherwise breath according to the condustor's direction, which might include taking a big breath and playing those final 8 bars in one breath.

[Hornlist] Re: Copying of orchestra parts
As librarians of a semi-professional orchestra we routinely copied the parts, with permission of the rental library so that every string player had a part and could recieve the part several weeks before the first rehearsal. Our orchestra was up to professional standards and we routinely had two (or at most) three rehearsals before the concerts. So we ecpected the players to come to the rehearsals fully practiced. And of course their pay assured their preparedness. When I play concerts I routinely bring my own part in a throw away copy in which I can notate the conductor's instructions. Regards.

The solution I use on the entrance of the high B flat in the first horn part in the second movement is a trick I learned from Louis Stout. Remove the 1st valve slide on the F horn side. The clarinet plays a slow descending scale High E flat, D and C just before the horn plays the high B flat. You can play high C very quietly on the first valve with slide removed in unison with the clarinet. Then press the thumb lever and the high B flat plays perfectly without any change in embouchure.

Urtext editions with original transposition horn parts are available from a number of sources, such as Bretikopf and Hartel, Barenreiter Verlag, etc. Edited editions containing varying degrees of editing ( ranging from a few phrasing marks, to as much as almost rewriting the piece ) are also available and most edited versions provide transposed horn parts. It is embarrasing to say, but I have a dozen different publications of each concerto, but I use a copy of the urtext edition when I performed them with orchestra and edit the part to my own tastes. I have one edited version for valve horn and another edited version for hand horn. I use copies because the orchestral parts from various publishers are not alike, and some are of different length. So I had to adjust the solo part accordingly. When playing with piano accompaniment, I prefer the Jones - Schirmer edition because I think the piano reduction is better. The Dalley Horn Catalogue lists 54 different publications of the concertos. That is too many to discuss their merits here. Ragards.

Re: [Hornlist] Beethoven 9th the 4th horn solo
Steve is right about the trend for the principal horn to play the 4th horn solo. Actually in many orchestras the 4th horn players are very good players and should be allowed to play the solo. However, alas, there are conductors and sometines principal horn players who want the principal to play the part. I have had the honor and distinct pleasure to play the part many times, in one case I was hired into the orchestra specifically to play the part. Sitting in the back row and just in front of the first line of the chorus, and next to the tympani, I got some impressive comments when the third movement came around.

[Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Vol 23, Issue 15 Aging and playing the horn
I agree with Hans Pizka with regard to aging and (still) playing the horn. Early training is the key. Interestingly enough, that applied also to athletics, and perhaps in an indirect way to everything in life. In my case I practiced 1 1/2 hours a day from the age of 11 onwards. With performance, orchestra practice, band practice during the school year, and summer music camps there were times that I was playing more than six hours a day. That builds muscles necessary to play long performances without fatigue. Now at age 70 I can still keep up with younger horn players, ar least for two hours. Regards.

[Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Stravinsky
Stravinsky got good advice from a horn player when he composed the "Firebird" Ballet in 1911, and later the "Suite" in 1919 and still later in 1945. The first and last notes of the glissando are written. So that gives you the fingering to use. F2 for the first two glissandi and F13 for the last two. Most conductors play this section at a rapid tempo so there is not much of a chance to project the sound of the intervening harmonics. That means that players accostomed to using the B flat side of a double horn can use a B flat fingering for the top note for the entire glissando except for the bottom note and it will sound OK. The tympani and tuba play the bottom note as an accent giving sufficient emphasis there. Some conductors play the section at a slower tempo ca. quarter note = about 72. then the entire glissando apparent. Then the F horn fingerings to get the correct harmonics is imperative.

[Hornlist] Geyer vs Kruspe wraps.
The significant difference between the two wraps was that the Geyer wrap had wider and more gradual bends in the main tubing. The result was that the F horn side has less resistance than in a Kruspe wrap. That meant the F and B flat horns sounded more "alike" in quality. Yes, the result of the Geyer wrap was that the wind passage went through the valve sets in opposite directions on the F and B flat sides. Merriweather, at Paxman, solved that problem in the 40L. He and I had a long discussion on this attribute many years ago. His theory was that the valve rotor should turn with the air flow when the valve lever is depressed, and that horns where the wind passage is in the opposite direction to the direction of the valve rotor causes an interruption in the smoothness of the air flow.

[Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Vol 18, Issue 14
Regarding the question of grading horn solos, the problem is complicated by the fact that State Music Educator organizations cannot agree on a uniform grading system. New York uses a 6 level grading system, other states use 4, 5, 6, 7, and even 8 grades. This is further complicated by the fact that other countries ( United Kingdom, France, German speaking countries) have their own grading systems that are different than most of the U.S. state grading systems. In my electronic catalogue of Horn Music ( now numbering more than 22,500 solos, ensembles and chamber music) I have tried to list the various grading systems that have been known to have been applied to a composition, and to the best of my ability ( with the help of many others) to compare them.
