[Hornlist] Sioegried Idyll 2nd horn long note

2006-11-19 Thread YATESLAWRENCE
Last night we played the Siegfried Idyll.
 
My second horn didn't manage to play the extrememely long low note at the  
end in one take.
 
Does anybody?  One of my colleagues told me that he had seen a BBC  orchestra 
play this piece and the note was shared between the two horns. Is this  the 
usual way of coping with this, does one develop a set of gills, or take  
breaths as my second did.
 
Cheers,
 
Lawrence

I have done it, and I believe it was Aaron Paul playing second when I 
was conducting the Berkeley Chamber Orchestra who was also was 
successful. Actually, it's not that hard. It's not like you have to 
change notes, or something. I use self-hypnosis in that situation, and 
the real problems is remembering to stop.
