If I' m not mistaken the ensemble calls it a Mnozil brass tuba or "Kronos".  It 
is custom made by Melton and sold @ Schagerl.  It is pitched in F w/ 5 valves 
and 3 triggers.

[Hornlist] Tenor Horn in Mahler 7

2008-02-27 Thread Jonathan West
I'm curious as to what instrument Mahler had in mind (and what
instrument is commonly used today, if different) to play the Tenor
Horn part for the first movement of Mahler 7. I've never had the
opportunity to see a live performance.

>From listening to it on CD, it sounds rather like a euphonium. (For
those of you not familiar with British brass bands, a euphonium is a
tenor tuba in Bb. Parts are written in Bb basso. The overall length of
tubing is the same as the Bb side of a horn though the bore is of
course much wider, and you use trumpet fingering to play it.)

Looking at the part (I have it on the Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM) it
is pitched in Bb, which would be consistent with it being played on a
euphonium or whatever is the German military band equivalent. It goes
quite high - the highest note is a written C# above the stave, almost
the last thing the tenor horn has to play.

Regards
Jonathan West

I have about in my long career twice encountered players who were

You have to wonder how someone could work his lip up to that kind of

musician and is doing this as a joke, in which case it is rather 
impressive. It's hard to play that badly on purpose.

I think this guy goes for it without hesitation. He has been through a severe 
car-crash, which I
think made him loose his perspective, if he ever had one.

The Danish Yellow Pages confirm, that his name and address are consistent with 
his phone number.

My father never knew about this guy, even if my father was a voluntary church 
concert manager in
Holbæk. But my father at once recognised the name of the piano player. She may 
not be among us any
more. My father remembers her as a little grey-haired lady, so she likely was 
older than my
father, who was born in 1917. She must have been quite old at the year of the 
recording, 2001.

If my memory does not cheat on me, I never met her, but I remember her being 
one of the three
klaverdamer (= pianoladies), who taught the kids in Holbæk back in my teens. My 
reference person
for that works in Brazil, and we have not met for 30 years. The other reference 
persons are long
gone.

The wannabe singer becomes pathetic, when he asks for international 
sponsorships to support his
career. He cites a bank account number, which does not even work within 
Denmark, because it has
the wrong number of ciphers.

Opposite to some other list members, I have not listened to all of the tracks. 
My ears refuse to
do so. 

But I am happy about one personal decision done 6+ years ago. When I no longer 
were significantly
better than my former students, then I stopped playing in public.

I'm sorry, I know "singers" who are very nearly as skilled as  this who are 
very proud of their achievements. The sad thing is that they are  often invited 
to sing at church services and the like by those who can't  tell.  This 
reinforces their confidence and self esteem.
 
Having said that, I've just got up to "Nessun Dorma" - maybe you're  right.
 
All the best,

I find it hard to beleive that this is anything but a joke, and a rather good 
one at that.

Ah Hans - when I sent my first reply I didn't realise that one could  
actually listen to this guy - I thought it was a joke site you'd set up.
 
Now I've listened to him - now I understand!

Of course I meant Abitur. Studentereksamen in Danish, which also means an examn 
qualifying for
further studies.

But it isn’t really so any more, and regarding some studies and some attractive 
colleges it even
back in my days was so, that one had to have a high average score. Mine allowed 
me to study where
I wanted. It even allowed me to study musicology after my rather early 
retirement. That was great
fun to dig down in the toolboxes of Bach and Schönberg among others.

About the self-alleged singer: He maintains to have studied 6 years at a 
private school in
Copenhagen. I tried to trace that school. It does not exist any more. The 
person who had given his
name to that school, was a Finnish singer and pedagogue, who was born in 1880. 
The present singer
was born some time around 1950. Some people teach into a very ripe age, but I 
still smell a rat.

For those reading Danish the page holds a copy of an ad, where the singer asks 
for a good pianist,
who will get the chance to boost his/hers career. 

The sad thing is, that in some contexts people get away with making music at 
this level. In some
social circles music is not something to love and to understand. It only is 
there for snobbish
reasons.

The most relevant word is “sad”.

from School, leaveing school. In Austria it is called
"Matura" or Maturity, but it is anything else than maturity,
but it is meant as "maturity to go to university".

I remember, there was a conductor who auctioned his service
on Ebay few years ago.

This is sad!

Even more so as this guy is born in and lives in the town,
where I lived, when we moved back to Denmark in 1958. I
lived there until I took, what the Germans call Arbitur in
1966. 

My very old father still lives there in the same house. He
has organised a lot of concerts over the years, but it is
too late night right now to phone him and ask him about this
impostor.

This guy must be around my age, but I never heard of him,
even if we were in the same town at the same time. And even
if I was in the best of two bands and in the only (small)
orchestra. The town of Holbæk was rather small back then,
which is no longer the case, as it has developed into a
housing area for Copenhagen.

In 1990-91 I returned as 4th horn in a really large musical
project. That man certainly was not asked to sing there.

Holbæk used to be the home of another impostor, which is far
more dangerous, because he is our minister of culture. Sadly
sports belong to that department, and that is the only part
of his portfolio, which that man has any idea about.

Yes, he thinks so. There are a lot of such folks. We got a
hornfellow once, who auditioned for us. As it was behind
screen, we advanced him to the next round to have sum fun.
He could not understand why he was eliminated than before
round three, as he did not miss any note, but how he played
 Out of tune & with a tone like a howling wolf   And
clumsy  And ... And ... No idea of Mozart .

   hahahaha This has to be a joke.  He might want to check the text of some of 
these arias...

Whether this alleged tenor is real and/or serious, history records
other massively delusional performers.  The classic and perhaps
best-documented example is Florence Foster Jenkins who you may read
about on the Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Foster_Jenkins

FFJ's recordings used to be featured on classical music comedy shows,
but in mentioning that I've heard such things I'm showing my age.

There is one brief but stunning (in the sense of what they do to
cattle with a bolt gun in a slaughterhouse) excerpt of FFJ accessible
from the Wikipedia article, and there are additional and longer
excerpts available on Amazon.  I have held one of these original vinyl
recordings in my hands.

I have about in my long career twice encountered players who were
similarly disillusioned about their performance abilities.
Fortunately these individuals are rare.  I wish I knew how they were
created so I could get the US executive branch to concentrate their
energy at preventing future occurences, rather than sending innocent
soldiers off to die for oil.
