Once again I repeat here: it is INSANE to have the timpani in the back of the horns, as the timpani sound will tilt the horns sound. You can blow & blow & blow, but nothing is to be heard except if the timpani have rests. The same happen for both sides, if the trombones sit in the back of the horns

I own a wonderful TV recording of Bruckner no.4 with Roland Berger playing first & Rafael Kubelik conducting. Does anybody know the "Urfassung" ? We just played it severaltimes & will do it on our European tour late September & early October. First horn is very busy. The symphony is completely dif

Possibly making a complete fool of myself as I am too lazy to refer with score or old vinyl (Barenboim/Chicago in my case, pretty impressive). As I remember B4, it is the one with the massive unisono horn fanfares in Bb concert (written F major in the F horn parts). This induces a question of m

Sorry, Klaus, there are just the unison fanfares at the end of the first movement, but they are written (in F) f2, bb1, f2 - and no 2nd space a1 involved. If the f2 should be flat, finger it with Bb-side 1, but do not forget adjusting the first slide. It is not too much for the single F Pumpenhorn

Is this the version in which the opening calls include a high Bb entrance -- I think on the third entrance? The story I heard was that for first performance the hornist told Bruckner that just because he could write something didn't mean it could actually be played, so Bruckner modified it.

Sorry, Chris, this would never sound impressive for the audience, as it would be missed or near missed manytimes. The impression would be just for horn players, but it would cost the horn player in question a lot of nerves. The story was with Schantl, but not in a rehearsal (that´s a myth only)), j
