RE: [Hornlist] Eb Horn??
This is relevant just for these stupid modern edition of the Mozart concerti No.2 - 4, where the solo part is given in F. The regular non transposed editions have the solo part in Eb (looking like C-major). Using an Eb horn (not an alto Eb) would require nothing different than reading the part in F finger it as in F. The horn would do the transposition. - Would save a lot of energy for some brains, ha, ha ! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Freides Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 3:01 AM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] Eb Horn??

[Hornlist] Eb Horn??
Hornfolks I have read the posts on Eb Trumpet with some interest remember the time I played an Eb HORN in Germany at the age of 15. The 'thing' had been evidently either run over by a car or thrown many times into a wall. The bell was crushed, the main leadpipe was dented many dents were found throughout the tubing I found it to be extremely problematic because I was not instructed as to the fingering sequence; NOR was I instructed in transposition by the American teacher I had of Mozart Eb orchestral works which I was required to play in the German Gymnasium Orchestra (let's look at this5 fiddles, 2 violi, no celli, no bass, 1 clarinet, 1 trumpet myself a very irritable conductor who made me the target of his rage. Much frustration led to me locking myself in the boarding house bathroom refusing to exit until I was promised an F horn.which I was granted after some time. The horn was a Gebrueder Alexander Mainz edition played perfectly in tune. I performed my Kopprasch happily for the teacher that my parents obtained for me. question...does anyone now own or play an Eb HORN??? I am most curious about the fingering sequence. best wishes Rachel Harvey ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

During large parts of the last century single F horns intended for band usage were delivered with an alternative Eb main tuning slide, and the valve slides had a pulling mark signed Eb. As for the fingerings: Eb horns playing Eb parts are fingered exactly like F horns playing from F horn parts. An Eb horn reading from F parts has to transpose one whole step up. Which is no more difficult than F horns often being required to transpose one whole step down reading from band parts written in Eb. Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

The fingerings are like nearly any other brass instrument with three valves. Valve 1 lowers the open horn a tone, valve 2 lowers it a semitone, and valve 3 combines the two. It's pitched, however, in the octave above a horn, so the fingerings in its trebel clef correspond to horn fingerings in the bass clef. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

RE: [Hornlist] Eb Horn??
An Eb alto horn or Eb mellophone or Eb tenor horn (England) is pitched a minor 7th above the standard F horn. When reading an Eb horn part, the fingerings would be the same as for a trumpet playing the same written notes. When reading an F horn part, transpose up a step and use the trumpet fingerings for the transposed notes. There may be Eb horns pitched 1 step below the standard F horn. In the US these would generally be horns in which someone has inserted an optional Eb crook in place of the standard F crook. Standard horn fingerings would be used for Eb parts. F parts would be transposed up a step and fingered accordingly. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
