I've taken a look a these pages, and from what I have seen they are VERY
GOOD. They are pretty similar stylistically to how I was taught the
concertos by Douglas Moore in my youth. The one major point of difference is
that as far as I remember Douglas Moore was not in the least bit interested
in whether I was using the Bb or F side of the horn, so long as the tuning
and tone was good and the phrasing and musicianship was what he wanted to
hear. He would occasionally suggest an alternative fingering, but he was
mainly content to leave well alone if it sounded right.

By the way Hans, some of the graphics aren't showing. The whole of the last
movement of K495 is not displaying, and the same applies to the 2nd & 3rd
movements of K447.

Jonathan West

Special for young players as you, I have sent up my playing
instructions of Mozarts K.447 & 495 concertos to my site:

www.pizka.de

click to Sitemapp  (no misspelling, it was intentional, as
my server jumped to my earlier Sitemap - right spelling -
for some reason, had also changed the link on my index page
without result)

Scroll down to instructions and click to

Mozart495 or Mozart447

Two big smilies indicate, that these files are working now.

The special file for younger players is working also. 

www.pizka.de/younger.htm

More to follow soon.

Greetings from Munich

Dear List
I'm very sorry that this is so late. I just ran across the
disk I had the information on today, and thought that I
would share the results of the survey I did a couple of
months ago:
Practice times averages:
Mean: 9.9 hours per week.
Median and mode were both 7 hours per week.
The standard deviation was 10.2
86% of those who replied practice between -.3 and 20.1 hours
per week. (one standard deviation from the mean) 96% of the
same practice between -9.9 and 30.3 hours per week (two
standard deviations from the mean)

Thank you to everyone who responded to my survey, in case I
have not thanked you already.
I feel that the biggest thing I learned from this project is
that a lot of people who love to play, and make the time to
play don't consider themselves serious players. In my
opinion, those who have a life outside of horn and find a
way to include horn are indeed serious players.
Hooray for the amateur hornist!

William Foss

Paul Ingraham's advice to young horn players:
Find a good teacher. Practice diligently. Watch what you say
to your colleagues.

Will they stop teaching music in Kansas? After all, it's
only theory.
