Hello Diane!
I haven't played the Schumann for over 20 years now, and the last time I
played it I used a Descant Double horn (Bb/HighF) but as a Student I did
play the 1st horn part on my double horn, so it is possible.
If you have the range to play the piece, and you feel you have the
stamina
Recently I have been asked to principal on the Concertstuck. At
first I was really excited then reality kicked in. I do not own a
decant horn.
It can be played on a F/Bb double. You should only attempt this piece if
your top C is more or less effortless and you can reach a top E without
I am preparing for a performance of the first movement of the konzertstuecke
with our wind ensemble(among others). I do most of my practicing on my double
horn mainly because I don't feel like going to my locker and getting out the
descant. This has been a blessing in many ways. If I am able to
I agree. I often never perform a piece until I've done it with the piano or
accompaniment several times.
I'm actually employing a new method of practice using my computer. I've found
a very programmable metronome for free on the web and I've actually found a
way to put a click/metronome track
Hmm I seemed to click something that sent the email before I was finished.
Anyway.
I am going to be learning the entire piece with my quartet in case we ever have
the oppurtunity to perform the whole work, but for now we are planning on only
performing the first movement(as per our wind ensemble

Thank you, Mark L., for the chuckle on the conductor about the microphone.
I enjoy the covers on microphones now. I don't know if they are shock

Sorry, list, for the lack of quotes, but am not using the computer I'm used

The other crooks would have been:
A straight sticker for Bb, a very short pig tail crook for A, three
short slides to replace the others when playing A or Bb.
The price for such a set is just a small fraction of a Jungwirth
Pumpenhorn price. So the informations from the seller must be incorrect

from: Bill:I wonder. What are the qualifications for 'critic'?
You remember the old saw about the kid in band who
can't play a wind instrument, so they take it away
and hand him two sticks? Then, later, if he can't
do that, they take one away and he becomes a conductor?
When he can't do that, either, they take away the
remaining stick and give him a pencil.
