RE: [Hornlist] Bells Up Definition
Jim, do you think that effect (bells up) be so much important ??? There are extremely few spots where it is asked for. But holding the horn bell up a bit more side wards opening the bell hand a bit more than usual would do the required effect. Anything else would not be musical but visual only. The sound must be very wide somewhat hollow, like using one of these antic megaphones. == -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim McDermott Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 8:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Bells Up Definition Is it possible to get a definitive answer as to how to hold the horn when the music calls for bells up?

Do you keep your hand in the horn and raise the bell horizontally or do you hold the bottom of the bel amd lift it above horizontal?

Re: [Hornlist] Bells Up Definition
I always thought that Schalltricher auf or similar phrases meant bells up, and that schmetternd (brassy or blaring) was a stylistic indication. In other words, a horn can be played in a loud and blaring fashion (that is, on purpose) without resorting to bells up. Have I been playing Mahler wrong all these years?

You beat me to the email machine! You are quite right. Professor Pizka while a busy man has addressed this on his website. http://www.pizka.de/GMahler2.htm. Schmetternd is stylistic in origin and does not refer to bell position. I would side more with the brassy than the blaring if at all possible and within good taste (?!?!?).
