Maybe we said everything that needs to be said for now.
But I can report that in my trigonometry class of 19 students, I have an
ex-horn player and two others who play period (over the shoulder) brass
instruments in a local band. For most of

This morning I listened to a recording of a
legendary US horn player performing a Galley
unmeasured prelude. Wondering why it sounded so
"crisp," I slowed down the first phrase and
realized that almost all the notes were chipped,
but not missed.
It's been most interesting anal
Seeing as the board lacks traffic at the moment, I thought it may be
more prudent to ask this slightly odd question now. I am a freshman
physics student at UIUC, and I am working with an adviser to create an

Check out the Lawson Brass website http://www.lawsonhorns.com/. If you see
stuff that you like, give the folks there a call. They may be willing to
talk to you, that or a written letter. E-mail may be problematic, some
times they answer, some times they don't.

I enjoy reading and learning from reading posts
on the horn list. I find it interesting to
respond to ideas when my mind is challenged.

Since the list is so quiet recently, maybe a discussion of "air support"
will liven things up a bit:
In the last few years I have been taught a number of different ways of
"supporting" air by a number of different teachers (all were employed or
retired from full time professional orchestras). The
My support to air support.My opinion on air support is as follows.
You need to approach it with both sides of the tension and relaxed ideas.
Think of the starting with a very firm foundation. On top of that stay
relaxed. as the air dissipates from your diaphragm introduce tension from
the sides

Having several teachers in the last few years is a less than ideal way
Breathe as normal (if you experienced what´s normal) but
dont experiment with making fire in your living room. If you
need to think too much about breathing, you might miss a
note here & more there while you are thinking about
breathing. The horn playing does need less air than you
might expect.

Maybe there isn't enough controversy. Some one needs to be rude to Hans,
denounce the playability of 8ds or put down Mozart horn concertos.
How about your favorite violin solos played on horn.

Hi all,
I wonder : when I play in extra high register ( playing D or E is not that
rare in my orchestra) I usualy use a very concetrated sound ,which does the
job for Bach , Haydn and any other chamber stuff . When I try to blast in
this range the note would not hold for more then a second - the

The only time you should need to really "blast" a note that high is at the
end of Symphonia Domestica if Sawallisch is conducting.

Well, I have no idea what type of answer you want, but I'll answer.
I haven't performed them in public, yet, but I'm currently working on the
prelude and courante movements of the first suite, from the actual cello piece
(Pierre Fournier edition). Would like to get the rest of the first sui
Sorry, Sawallisch does not conduct any more. Mehta let me do
it also, but this was not the well known high e3 of the
Domestica, it was in the final chord.
For Bach & Haydn´s high stuff, there is never a need for any
"blast". All must be very delicate with light sound. Use a
