But, Matthew, how can this policy match with the ever-desire
search for the very urtext ?? This is perfectly
inconsequent. Many players sacrifice themselves over a
legato bow or some dots, if they are inserted by another
hand than the composer, but play string quartets with brass
quintet.
Clever tasteful decision, indeed. Mozarts music does fit
any settings (nearly) one can find (nearly) any
combination, which can be (re)produced in a recital without
much compromise. That´s the way things should be arranged.
Bravo !

That raises an interesting question, if it is the placebo affect, and it
works for player X, is it bad? If player X has his horn go through the
treatment and can find some improvement whether or not the treatment did it,
and if he's willing to part with the money I guess it might not be a bad

Could a horn be made with the the Vienna horn tapers and design but with
rotors or pistons instead of the Vienna valves or are those valves an
important element in the sound of the Vienna horn? Do the Vienna valves
work as well as modern rotors or pistons?

Yes, Howard, flaming begins:
Doing the Serenade with piano accompaniment instead of the
strings is a perfect sacrileg as it ruins the music
perfectly. Britten and Hindemith as well are known for their
perfect taste for instrument colours.
If you listen to Wolfgang Tomboeck or Thomas Joebstl using
their viennese-valved horns, you would notice, that they
blame the double horn players by their sound technique

valves, but the players in Vienna or everywhere in the world
