If the music is (pre- 1890) ... Are the notes possible on a natural horn? If
not... then it is old notation.

Even more frustrating is when two different clefs are employed on the same line
with old notation. You will see horn C on the first ledger line below the
treble staff, followed by a bass clef second space C and assume new notation,
only to find impossible notes later on. Not great for sight-rea
You just have to use reason to figure it out. Ledger lines are an
indicator - the more ledger lines you see (below the staff, of course),
the more likely it is to be old notation.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I can't tell you when the world made a paradigm shift
to new notation, but if it looks unreasonably low,
chances are it's old.

Hello all,
An offhand comment on the list a couple days ago prompted me to bring up the
following question:
I have been aware for a while now that in music written for horn in bass
clef there are two different notations; "old bass clef" which skips an
octave and the more correct "new bass clef" n
I believe the whole "blasting" business came from the student taking a
small bit from Farkas's book, where Farkas says in reference to the low
range:
"The most common difficulty in playing the lower octave seems to be the
one of producing the notes powerfully enough. The cure is, of course,
much
What kind are these teacher ? This is crazy. All this
BLOWING through the horn. The notes need just the "ignition"
& passive support, which means "letting air out", except
when playing superloud. Here concentrated air will do the
things. But ordinary blasting will result in nothing. Better
playing

Intonation & tone quality comes first.
