Re: [Hornlist] Beta Blockers -
If I might add one thought... Beta Blockers do not make you play better so they wouldn't really be a performance enhancing drug. The only thing that I can think of that makes you perform better is practice and preparation. Stuart BTW many professional athletes use Beta Blockers and I havent seen a Congressional hearing on the legalities of that. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There's a new drug for anxiety that works every time.

Reducing blood pressure and reducing the rate of the heart beat reduce the body's ability to perform. Strength and endurance are reduced. Yes, nervousness can be reduced by these drugs, but beta blockers are actually performance dis-enhancers in the parameters considered important to athletes. I take a beta blocker to lower blood pressure, but I reduce the dose or delay taking the beta blocker if I have a heavy rehearsal or concert ahead of me due to the debilitating effects described above. __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [Hornlist] (no subject)
The Prof. is right. You are probably putting too much air in the horn. Another thing to do would be stop concentrating on the problem. Too much thinking causes problems like an air leak or a double buzz, etc. Stuart Womble --- Prof.Hans Pizka [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try not to blow that much air through the horn.

I've never had this problem before (probably showed up about two months ago). I'm a student and currently spend quite a bit of time with my face to the horn every day, so I thought maybe I had injured myself (I'd heard such things can be symptoms). So I took a few days off from playing, but felt no improvement when I went back to the horn. It doesn't seem to seriously affect my playing (yet), but I'd like to eradicate this problem while it's still relatively young. Anyone have any suggestions? It's really annoying. Seems that no matter how hard I concentrate on creating a good air seal, quite a bit manages to get out. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Hornlist] Conn 10Ds and 11Ds again!
Ive only played one 10D that I liked out of the several that I ive tried. They seem to be very tight instead of free blowing. Ive never gotten a chance to pick from several of them at once, but Im sure that if you could do that you would find a good one (much like all Conns). Beware of quality control on the horns as well Ive picked two straight out of the case from the factory that had the f tube going into the first valve broken free. Dont be too worried about the way a horn looks. Find one that plays well. Actually buy a good used horn and spend the rest of the money on lessons and recordings. Good luck looking Stuart --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello everyone, Im going to ask the bagillionth time again about the new Conn 10 and 11DRS, what do you guys think about them?I would appreciate more than llike 2 replies, 8 or more would be helpful (I appreciated those few replies)! Im seriously thinkking of buying one. What is the instuments FEEL to you when playing? What is the sound and tone? DO you like it or does it seem a little edgy and metallic, or bland? I need to know your oppinnions good or BAD. They finally got them in a store down here. They got an 11DRS, a 10DRS and an 8DYS. I tried them outand well, they look very pretty (etched valve caps and nice colors and ring for screw bell.) butthe playing doesnt seem to match the looks. At least to me. but maybe the acoustics of the room were bad (it was a very small room about 12x12 filled with percusion merchandise in rackslike timpani heads and such, so only about 7x 5 was open space.)) Or maybe its just me, and i suck at playing. I compared those horns with my school Holton H180, and i noticed my H180 was heavier than those horns, even the 8DYS. It seemed that the H180...I CANT PUT MY FINGER ON IT! My H180 plays different from the Conns! But i dont know how to explain it if its for better or worse. The Conns seemeed to sound somewhat mettalic (but it could have just been acustics.) The sales girl told me the horn needed to be broken in so that the horn could sound better or to get the valves broken in. Im goin to have my lesson teacher try them out and see what she thinks. But does ANYONE have experience with these horns? Even if you tried them out for like a couple of minutes thats still fine. I just want everyones oppinions. Maybe i have to get used to them bieng Geyer wraps (I want a geyer wrap, but even the 8DYS had similar playing qualities.). Could all 3 horns have been lemons? Supposedly they were shipped in from Oklahoma and that they showcased them there and had them played in a professional symphony. EVERYONES OPINION IS APRECCIATED. Reply, you know you want to.

Re: [Hornlist] Timbre trill
I would assume the timbre trill would be much like those in Berio's Requies. I would suggest playing the high G# on th B horn trilling between 2 and 2-3. The difference in fingerings will give a change in sound on the same note. As for that solo, good luck. I would personally talk to the composer (or conductor if you cant get to the composer), you can only help him/her by explaining that it is not ideal for the horn. Hope this helps Stuart --- Michael E. Thurman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Our chamber orchestra will be performing a collection of movements that were commissioned by our orchestra which are meant to embody the diversity of our community and showcase local composer/arrangers. One composer is asking for a timbre trill at one point in his composition. This is a rip up to a g sharp with trill written over it. Parenthetically he has placed a g sharp beside it. Can someone advise me as to exactly how this should be played? In addition, another movement has a very slow (eighth note = 63) horn solo over the string section. It begins with a low g sharp below the staff and meanders its way up melodically, in a five bar stretch, up to a high C sharp above the staff. I'm panicking! Any (kind) advise regarding this? (Other than shoot the composer) Is this a reasonable request? The composer is an organist I understand and I think played trumpet at some time in his musical career.

Re: [Hornlist] Bernhard Heiden Sonata
If you are enjoying the Heiden, look for his horn quartet and play it with some friends. Also check out Hindemith's Sonata in F. I'm sure you will hear some similarities between the Heiden and Hindemith Sonatas, esp. since Heiden was a student of Hindemith. Have fun with the piece. Stuart --- Adrienne McKinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Hornlist! This summer I am having a great time learning the Heiden Sonata. Especially the 3rd movement, which is great fun and a hoot to count. No joke! I just wondered who else here has played the piece, and whether you might have any anecdotes to share, what you enjoyed about the piece, didn't enjoy, found challenging, places to breathe in the 3rd movement (er, typical question from me of smallish lungs and large-bore horn), etc. Incidentally, I am working with a real live teacher on this piece. :) Anyone? This is the first Heiden I have played. I am also curious about other pieces -- by this or other composers-- that may be similar. Always expanding my music library. Does the 2nd movement melody remind anyone else of Ravel's Pavanne? I haven't figured out WHY yet. Something to do contour, I think. (??) Hope you are all having a lovely summer!

Re: [Hornlist] Baumann on Philips
They are all out of print. You can still find a cd on the Eloquence label in Europe that has the Gliere concerto, Dukas Villanelle, Charbrier, and Pokorny Concerto with ASMF I believe. Eloquence is a budget label from Universal Classics which now owns DG, Decca/London, and Phillips. You can find a lot of great older recordings on Eloquence with such orchestras as Berlin, Vienna, Chicago, London, etc. Good Luck Hunting. Stuart --- James Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone on the list verify if Baumann's recordings on the Philips label are still available? I've been searching both on the Philips website amd a general search on Tower Records, but all attempts have been mostly in vain. Has Philips taken these recordings out of production?
