Forgive the cross posts, but I thought members of both lists would like
to read the following excerpt from a review of the recent Mahler 5th
recording by the San Francisco Symphony. Scott Cantrell, the Dallas
Morning News classical music critic raises several questions about the
tempos taken by
I have almost given up hope on this one... I check at least once a year:
Does anyone have a Finley Seamless Sound horn that they would wish to sell?
I would be interested in ANY of them.. single, double... whatever.
Some reader named Hitch had one 5 years ago but I have never heard back
from
For those familiar with the DMN this was one of Cantrell's better columns.
He usually mixes cute little comments and tries to be the kind of person
Dorothy Parker would want to sit next to.
Don't know what hit the lad to do a straight forward review of this work.
It's worth a read. See the url
Utter insouciance is hardly a compliment... He may as well have
written offhand, banal interpretation...
Let the critic take up the horn-- we can then witness the utter
insouciance of his playing!
I agree; cameo is an entirely inappropriate term to describe the role
of the solo horn in this
Hornisti:
It's common among lieder singers to transpose songs to fit the range of
the voice (it sometimes happens in opera, too, for singers with range
issues). I've played Auf dem Strom in both the original key and in D.
It can sometimes be more of a challenge to the pianist than the horn
I played Auf der Strom publicly in Eb; fortunately by the tenor's
request, so it took the onus off of me. But for one who does not enjoy
solid endurance most of the time, the difference between Eb and E is
something like life and death, or at least it significantly shifts the
focus from
I have to admit that I didn't really know the definition of
insouciance. I checked it in both my Encyclopedia Britannica and
Encarta dictionaries. Encarta defined it as carefree attitude: cheerful
lack of anxiety or concern. Britannica's definition: lighthearted
unconcern. I gathered from these
Come next year I'll have been collecting historical vocal
recordings seriously for 40 years. (I started young. g)
With such records there is always the question of the correct
playback speed. Many--maybe most--78 rpm records don't play at
78; some aren't even close (e.g., Caruso's 1902
I sent this to the Yahoo! list with no response. So I'll give it
try here.
Has Mason Jones's arrangement of the slow movement of the Brahms
piano sonata in F minor, Op. 5, ever been published? He performed
it at the IHS workshop in Potsdam, N.Y., June 23, 1988.
Thanks.

You are correct in Basel. To my embarrassment I also neglected to
change the subject line. My apologies to all. As for excuses I have
none other than it was a long, tiring day.
I will put the locations you suggest on my list. It is not yet winter
and I am already looking forward to a
I am looking for the English translation of the Dekamation from horn

So far, my translation goes like this:

Hello all,
Could someone please help me locate the publishing information for the Jiri
Pauer Horn Concerto? I heard it performed this summer and would love to
purchase the music, but I can't find it anywhere (library included). Is it
available in the United States?
Thank you for your
As far as I know, it is out of print, was published by a
Czech publisher (then State owned). Will try to get more
info let the horn community know.
