Re: [Hornlist] Tchaik 5
Catherine, play it like a love song, very relqxed but full of love. Do not power !! Please. If you seem to be not loud enough, well, ask the conductor to keep the string sound at a real piano level. Do breath enough but not too deep, just normal. Divide the solo into phrases if you were playing a string instrument. Good luck.

Re: [Hornlist] Tchaik 5
When I did this several years ago, everything went well until the very last note (written f natural), which would not speak. Gave it a rather "unresolved" feel. Mike Houle was in the section then, and he told me that he told his friend Ethel Merker about this. Apparently, after they picked themselves off the floor from laughing so hard, Ethel told Mike that the way to avoid this is to play that last f nat with 1st valve on the b horn rather than the usual open. btw, seems you have a concept in place, having worked with Clevenger, but if you want to hear this solo played in a rather unusual but to me immensely satisfying way, get the recording of Munich with Celibidache. Good luck! Fred Catherine Eisele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello all, I hope everyone's summer went well. This Tuesday I start rehearsals for my first season performing Tchaik 5 (playing principal).

[Hornlist] Tchaik 5
Hello all, I hope everyone's summer went well. This Tuesday I start rehearsals for my first season performing Tchaik 5 (playing principal). I was wondering if anyone has any stories (good and bad!) about rehearsing or performing the piece, since the solo and the piece is such an important part of the repertoire. Any tips are appreciated too. I was a able to work on the solo in a lesson with Dale Clevenger a few weeks ago, so I have most of my plan worked out, but all ideas are welcome. Also, what, if any, differences are there when playing it in audition vs. in the orchestra. I will be playing it for college auditions in the spring and I don't know how to approach it in that setting. Thanks! I look forward to some stories!
