[Hornlist] RE: Horn Digest, Vol 71, Issue 20 Brahms, horn trio
I don't know how much Brahms played the horn but there is a photo, which is on the cover of an LP from the WWV (which I have several available) with Brahms in the group - members of the WWV. (natural horns back then) Michael Papierniak date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:43:14 - (GMT) from: Kit Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject: Re: [Hornlist] Brahms Trio, Op. 40 Also, whilst we're on the subject I'm sure I once heard that Brahms played the horn. I know his father did, but the biography I've read doesn't seem to mention whether he did too. It seemed to make a lot of sense - I'm not generally a huge fan but I like his horn writing. Can anybody confirm or contradict? And to further parade my ignorance, was he the first person to write for horn/piano/violin? It's a perfect combination.

[Hornlist] critics.....
I have always had the focus that making music is what it is all about. I went to one of Arthur Rubinstein's final concerts. Friend that went with me was at first reluctant to go due to Rubinstein's advanced years and being past his prime. Well, let me say that Rubinstein's missed notes had more music in them than most young artists today that are technically perfect. I have heard many perfectly played horn passages that I have forgotten and yet remember memorable performances were there were technical faults yet the MUSIC making was spectacular.

[Hornlist] RE: valve corks
From: Papierniak, Michael R Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 4:49 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: valve corks Yet another solution would be to use cork whole bore-ers or drills used in laboratories to cut wholes in corks and rubber stoppers for fitting tubing or glass tubes in. Once you cut the whole in a cork sheet of appropriate thickness simply punch out the whole from the cutter and there you have your cork stopper.Walter Lawson also told me about the neoprene impregnated cork (which he used) that the military developed for corking the clarinets etc., cork like and yet does not soak up oil etc..
