Do you mean Firenze, Italy? May I ask who was this
It does raise some interesting philosophical questions. At what point
does change in available technology become a blessing or a curse?
As to Tuckwell's participation, well there is a story involving the actor
Michael Caine and I believe Sir John Gielgud that occurred early in Caine's
career.
I would like to invite you to examine my most recent work for brass
quintet. Scenes from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is a
five-movement composition that was commissioned by the Hartford Brass
Quintet. It can be performed with or without narrator. The music is
very descriptive
This has been before the Cultural Revolution, which is 40
years over, Daniel. There were many Italian players in
Shanghai before 2nd World War, but that´s another story.

Just thought I'd let the horn list folks know that the early
registration deadline for the 2006 Southeast Horn Workshop is looming!
For the rest of February, registration fees are $60. Starting March 1
(this Wednesday!) the fee goes up to $70. Pinch those pennies!
Check it out and register
simple task of transposing?? Maybe simple to you. Was there once a time when
the great Hans, was not so great at transposition? Maybe even a bit scared? I
know you would never admit that!
I have seen many young students play the heck out of Ravel's Piano Concerto
in G...they were too young to
When very young beginners would play the Kopprasch as they
(Kopprasch) were thought, they would do it in E, in E flat
etc. from the very beginning. Just reading simple chords a

half step etc. A very simple easy beginning of the
Hello all,
Larry, please don't speak for me! I've been playing and studying the
horn for over 35 years (some professionally), still practice daily,
including such mundane things as scales, long tones and 'non-
transposed' orchestral excerpts, and don't consider myself a
nobody. No German
In one of my various careers I was a Structural Engineer. I started that
profession at the same time electronic calculators and computers were
replacing slide rules and electric calculators.(*) There were methods for
analyzing the behavior of building under load that had been developed for
hand
All this neh, neh, neh, regarding whether or not to
read the concertos in their originally composed key or
not... well, there are other ways to experiencing
Mozart: as a kid in the 1960's, I remember when my
horn instructor sat the sheet music for the K. 412
(1st Concerto) in front of me,
Hornists in the St Louis vicinity will not want to miss the SLSO's
principal horn doing Mozart 2 and Hindemith concertos Saturday, 2/25, 8
PM in Powell Hall. The Hindemith is a seldom heard musical gem in the
horn literature, highly lyrical and rich in tone color variations.

yet again it is assumed that the beginning horn student starts out with a
private teacherthis is false, maybe in Europe, but not here in the states.
Usually a young student picks up the horn on the first day of school and then
has to sit next to everyone else in band class and learn to play
Your teacher was wrong typically, experiencing a youngster
with the D-major movements instead of beginning with the
much easier second movement of the no.3 concerto in E-flat
)originally no.1). And the D-major movements came off
Mozart´s pen last, while K.447 was first besides the Rondo
K.371.
Larry, you dont know the situation here in Europe. We have
(or had) music classes in the schools, not instrumental, but
theory. This lays the roots for musical understanding. And
band music is not a thing of the schools, just to make more
or less organized noise use military drill.
Band music is
yes Hans, we do live on different planets, but we agree on one thing, the
bottom line is the music! Some will study many many years and never get it.
Thanks for the info
Larry
