Bill, the only Bb stopped fingerings that work for me start on a1 and go chromatically to c3. The notes below that are badly out of tune. I'd like to caution that these fingerings should be used only in isolated situations. 98% of the time I use the F horn fingerings for stopped horn. I read everything 1/2 step down (horn in E). It's much less confussing, the intonation is better, and one can get that pungent raspy edge to the sound. It's this characteristic F horn sound that most composers are looking for. If you aren't used to playing the F horn fingerings, get a fingering chart out, open Kopprasch Book 1, and play the whole book stopped. By the time you finish, I guarantee you will have improved your stopped horn technique. I admit, some conductors just want more audible sound in the stopped passages and playing stopped on the Bb side can deliver a brighter sound. The Bb fingerings I use, going up chromatically, are: a1 Bb1b1c2c#2d2Eb2e2f2f#2g2Ab2 a2Bb2b2c3 23 31323 12 1 2 0 3 23 12 12 01 2 Gerald Onciul Assistant Principal Horn Edmonton Symphony Professor of Horn University of Alberta CANADA f#2 - 23, g2 - 12, > ___ > post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/onciul%40shaw.ca ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
