The third "classic" WWQ & piano piece, no less than the Poulenc, is the
wonderful Gordon Jacob Sextet.
Thanks,

One more staple of the WWQ literature I haven't seen mentioned yet is:
Milhaud: "La Cheminee du Roi Rene"
At a higher difficulty level, I think you'd also call Barber's "Summer Music"
and Francaix's first Quintette standard repertoire.

Hi John,
I like your reply very much...the Gardiner Beethoven recordings are my
favorite. ButI would maintain that I like them because they are the
most musical (to my taste), and not because they most closely mirror
history.
Weather is nice in Sacramento today, also.

Hi All,
Ok, you can call me a College student, and a lousy natural horn player at
that, and I'm surely no speciallist in period instruments; However, I love the

Hi and howdy,
Another 2 cents. I've had the lacquer stripped off of two of my
horns. Here are the pros and cons from my vantage point.
It is much easier to take care of a lacquered horn. There's a reason
they put that lacquer (or epoxy) there.
Unlacquered horns seem to have a softer feel and

Tuning is a matter of PLAYING IN TUNE, not one of getting all the slides
exactly so-so. It is a matter of listening and harmonizing and getting
intervals correct. Orchestras, bands, and choirs perform more nearly in just
intonation than in equal-tempered intonation, except when pushed into

Several folks have commented on good musicians ability to play a horn in
tune with the tuning slide all the way in or all the way out. I take it
from this statement that what these horn players are doing is adjusting the
way they play using what they hear from the horn and the other
instrument(s).

No, Sorry, I just get my "Zichoriegschlaber" as morning coffee, provided by my wife,
nothing strong (my stomach cannot stand it, anyway never before Fidelio or Long Call -
nobody knows the effect), more milk than coffee. Ha, ha ! Watch my other letter about

As said before, tuning is not that difficult, preconditioned that the "ear training"
is adequate. If there was no ear training while at school or at music school, or if
there were no piano lessons before (both work), then any tuning will remain a
nightmare.

Re WWQ music :
I would like to recommend a piece called "Aires Tropicales" by Paquito

is sure to gain in popularity. This guy knows how to write for the horn!!!

David, did you do the same as I once did: pulling all the strings out first - or break
the hammers before playing the piano? Ha,ha ! The trick works better on a white piano
than a black one. Upright pianos tend to make a weird noise, if you pull the strings
out, while the lid should remain open
