Hello Carl,
at first the tempo: why did you set the tempo at 64/beats/min. ? This
would be in the Larghetto range instead of the Andante (76-108), but it
is even Andante con moto, which is translated walking with movement
not dragging one´s feet. I wood recommend metronome: 86/beats per
minute, so
Hi,
Reynolds Contempora restored by Atkinson for sale. Has Good valve cluster
mated to Atkinson leadpipe bell tail and bell, Horn is from circa 1958 making
it a Chambers prototype. Has extra heavy bell, gets great response a killer

Thanks John,
Being also put in a grumpy state of mind by this issue, I could probably go
on about it, but I think that Anthony Tommasini's Op-Ed piece that appeared
earlier this week in the times lays the unfortunate truth about the nearly
complete disappearance of unadulterated live music in
I tried to send this a couple of weeks ago and it never seemed to appear on
the list (censorship? oh no - just kidding, I'm not serious about opening
that can of worms...). Now I find a copy sitting in my sent mail folder
so I'll give my list image a second try at self-immolation.

Greetings Colleagues,
I have been reading the posts for the past few days on the plights of
different orchestras and I would like to inform you of what is going on in
Michigan. Due to a budget deficit of over a Billion Dollars, the Governor

Hi everyone-
This discussion Hans has brought up is an excellent topic. I
recently attended the Southeast Horn Workshop held March 7-9 at
Columbus State University. I heard many university-level hornists in
masterclasses and competitions. This weekend's aural experience
only served to confirm
I recently worked quite hard on this work [German title--Empfindungen am
Meere] for a project on Franz Strauss and his music for horn and piano.
My base tempo for this work is just a bit slower, around 58 to the dotted
quarter, but at the risoluto (bar 32) I move to a tempo around 66. In this
You bring up some interesting and thought-provoking points, Brent. The aim
is to make music, and sound is more primary to this aim than is technique.
The main teacher here in Sacramento, Pete Nowlen, also emphasizes extensive
practicing with the mouthpiece. But he doesn't get into the other
Maybe it's the same thing I heard at a concert of the canadian brass.

front of him, but when you're standing at the back of the hall of the

Brent, excellent response, excellent. But may I suggest to move up the
angle from 30-45 degrees, move it up until you play directly into the
mouthpiece hole. Well, it is not so comfortable for the neck one´s

Hello John, but M.58 is LARGO not Andante con moto; even M.66 is in
the lower LARGHETTO range instead of the required ANDANTE CON MOTO.
Everybody will fall asleep if this piece is played that slow. Ooops,
perhaps you got a picture from the seaside on a day without any move in
the air, without any
A few months ago I found hidden away in one of the horns I purchased a #4
Dennis Wick mpc. On first attempt, I played it for about 1 minute and said
forget this! Things were just totally unruly. On second attempt 2 months
later, I stuck with it for 2 practice sessions and now really like it.
Hello Herb,
Which march are you doing? I have a bit of experience you might say
since I was a Marine musician.
My general comment agrees in principal with today's posting-you should
be able to take many breathers in between notes played and if there are
enough horns switch off. With
Unfortunately, in a Marine band it is highly unlikely that there will
ever be four horns let alone more than four:-( I probably should have
piped in a few days ago when everyone was discussing the military music
option but the generalities seemed to be pretty well covered. On the
up-side, I
