[Hornlist] Strauss - "Seaside Impressions" Op. 12

2003-03-12 Thread Carl Vidos
Hello fellow hornists: I perform with a large community band (90+ members) as well as a local horn ensemble, but once in a great while I like to work on piece of music as if I were going to perform it as a soloist. Chances are that I never will, but friends and family make a great "test audience."

That's a good question Hans! I speak quite a bit about Schantl and singing through the horn as well but I haven't mentioned that lately I guess and it didn't seem pertinent to the question asked;-). My students are even now learning the joys of Bordogni! However, a few tricks in the bag are ni

[Hornlist] Cheap trills

Hans Pizka fretted: Why do so many people care so much of so unimportant effects, which have more to do with noise than music ? Flutter tongue, glissandi, fortissimo trills (Dvorak, Wagner) are not the most musical things ever. Why quite nobody asks about nice (and very difficult) cantilena thin

[Hornlist] Ok lets talk about tone

Well, I remember reading somewhere (maybe an article by Clevenger?) that tone itself, that is the pure tone colour, without attack or release, is largely unimportant when considering a musical interpretation. Take DB's tone for instance... Largely uninspiring by itself, but the way in which he USE

It was not a critic on your question, but just wondering, why quite zero questions are related to cantilena or tone. When I started the thread about tone & tone colour, it died out shortly. Isn´t the tone the greater problem compared with technical things, which can be acquired by hard work ? Isn´t

RE: [Hornlist] 6/8 pain

2003-03-12 Thread Baucom, Fred
Herb, Sounds like this is after-beat activity, so would think that you can take breaks without impairing the overall effect of the march. After beats are mostly "percussive" (meaning the pitch of the note is not so important), so you should be able to arrange 8 to 16 bar switch-offs with the other
