Re: [Hornlist] Villanelle clarification
I think that people should take into consideration several things: often times, students are given pieces beyond their ability levels. As strange as it may seem, I was given a Mozart concerto before I had the range or techical ability to make it resemble Mozart. I played it, because that's what my dad and teacher wanted me to do. High school students do not always have ample time to practice. They get to school at 7 in the morning, and if they're in any extra-curriculars, don't get home until dinner. Then add to that a part-time job, and hours of homework so that the school can get good scores on standardized tests, high school students have every waking hour of the day filled. No wonder it took a year to work up a challenging solo like Villanelle. Maybe William is a perfectionist - obviously he played it well, and wants some pointers because he knows he can do better. You should all be more supportive of a future musician. If I had gotten comments like these when I was starting out, I probably would have changed my mind. Hang in there, William.

Re: [Hornlist] Villanelle clarification
There was no pun intended in my e-mail, was just letting you know that humbleness is something that is a good thing. It's fine to let people know you received a scholarship and all that other stuff, but the way you phrased it gave it it's cockiness. When people have to talk about how good they are, their usually not as great as they make themselves out to be. There's nothing cooler than talking with someone who plays horn that comes off as very humble and who can just play their horn like no one else. It sounds as if you're a good person with that last e-mail. Well good luck at state! Jason P. S. I don't mean to be telling you HOW to act, just giving you advice on how you might want to. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Villanelle clarification
Don't worry about it -- anybody posting on this list faces a major serious "gotcha" risk from any number of others on the list. (Not that there's anything wrong with that -- it helps us learn humility.) Besides, tone is a tricky thing -- even more difficult in writing prose than in playing horn. -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA.

[Hornlist] Villanelle and William!!!
I am with you William! Your post was perfectly cool. Absolutely typical for a budding 18 year old talent! Be a swashbuckler who owns the whole world, but doesn't mind if everyone else owns it with him. As you see, the horn world is full of people who want to tell you what to do. Listen to them. . . . But don't be afraid to have some ATTITUDE! I read your post exactly as you intended it. You wanted us to know you are are a serious player and provided some anecdotes. You HAVE to blow you own horn sometimes. And always LAUGH when you do it! Your gonna be just fine in the horn world. With gusto!

I did not mean to sound cocky, but when I have asked questions about the piece before, everyone is surprised that a high school student would take on such a piece. In regard to the scholarship, now that I reread what I wrote, it does sound cocky, and I apologize. It was unnecessary information and I should not have included it. I posted because I felt that maybe I was missing some insight into the piece, and that was not in black and white should be taken into consideration, however, I have not progressed far enough to know on my own what I should do.

RE: [Hornlist] Villanelle - best advice
The best advice for you, as you worked up to a year on that piece: Learn to study & polish a piece such as Villanelle within a short time, say one week. Learn to study a lot of pieces, every week another five to 8 minutes solo or every two weeks a new concerto. How woill you survive in the orchestra later, if you need that long to study a standard piece ? Revise your basic knowledge about harmonies, about the mini forms & groups in classic music, to enable you to anticipate things. Only by this, you might become able to sight-reed & to learn quickly. == -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Foss Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 1:38 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Villanelle As strange as this might sound, I am a High school senior who played "Villanelle" by Paul Dukas for the solo & ensemble contest.

Re: [Hornlist] Villanelle
Try to be a little less cockyworks wonders. "As strange as this might sound, I am a High school senior who played "Villanelle" by Paul Dukas for the solo & ensemble contest." As strange as it may sound.Are you implying that you're "special" because you played it? Well that was the first hint of a cocky comment and then you went on to talk about how you're going to get a scholarship at Central Missouri State University because you played this solo. Now was all this necessary just to ask for advice? If it was good enough for the scholarship, which you made it sound like, then you should be fine. Cocky horn players usually aren't too successful in getting along well with a section. Keep the cockiness to a low if you want to get along with others, especially when you go off to college. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
