[Hornlist] MozartĀ“s Il Seraglio

2004-04-23 Thread Hans Pizka
We had a new production of MozartĀ“s "Il Seraglio" last season. Daniel Harding conducted. There was a fixed setting in the orchestra, means, we were not allowed to switch service. Well, my colleague did the job. But we have got a new conductor since, Harry Bicket, of whom I reported the review he re

You are still missing basic technique, dear Michael. And I did not say "you masturbate with the music". Read it again. I said "music is not like masturbating". You should try to understand. And the mouthpiece thing: I did not recommenbd to get different mouthpieces for different tasks - as other wr

Stage fright & stage fright are not always the same. A certain stress is necessary to produce a live performance. But most reason for stage fright is as I described. The book is absolutely interesting for those who do not suffer that much of stage fright but it helps - as you said - to understand i

May I suggest (if it hasn't been already) "Mental Toughness Training for Sports." I believe it is by a fellow named Loehr, or something like that. For some reason, its simplicity is extremely helpful when we have those moments of stupidity when under extreme stress, such as when one is performin

Hello Michael, I think I heard somewhere that Richard Solis of the Cleveland Orchestra had such problems, as well...at least while performing as Principal. Your book title is intriguingin what way do you relate stage fright to the unconscious? Sounds like you believe that stage fright ma

Dear Hans, Thank you for your interesting comments about stage fright. Horowitz had stage fright for 35 years then resumed playing. Arnold Jacobs told me of a performer in the New York Philharmonic that had played wonderfully for 25 years then all of a sudden couldn't play. Hundreds of gre

What is the problem here ? Buying a mouthpiece here, buying a mouthpiece there, just because a colleague recommended that ? INSANE ! Learning the technique to cover the horns whole range with ONE SINGLE mouthpiece, with a real horn mouthpiece. And the range must be acquired by the right practise n

What exactly is the range of the piece? if its mainly in the padel ranges, it would be a breeze if you bought the paxman 35 mouthpiece. and perhaps you could find a suitable rim that is closest to your current mouthpiece rim diameter so as not to affect your current emboucher. of course this wou
