Hello friends, fans or enemies or whatever on the hornlist,
I would like to share a special experience with you:
I received a desperate call this morning to help out with
music for a recital tonight in a very big theatre in a very
big city in Germany, as the horn player could not find his
solo pa
Hello Hans,
Though I understand how you could be frustrated by this occurrence, I
can't say that I am in agreement with you 100%.
I have a fax machine, but not a scanner, and have received requests
for music (at the very last minute-- like less than 2 hrs. before the
performance!) and hav
Thank you all for your thorough responses.
Those of you who requested that I contact you off-line, I most certainly
will.
Re: the transposed/transcribed duets - I can't say I won't consider
violin or other instruments' duets. However, I will say that I would
like to run to ground my options with
There have been many helpful responses to this request. I would like
to offer one too, though it is not exactly in line with the request for
"advanced" music. My "Eight Hymn Duets" are at intermediate level and

Yes! I now have two books done with the recording of them:
Richard Burdick's "64 Duets for two horns, volume 1 (#1-16)", opus 132 with
a multi track recording of the duets performed by Mr. Burdick

Hmm. I'd be annoyed, too, had I gone to that trouble for naught.
However, it seems to me that what you're upset about is her
honesty that they managed to find the part. IMHO, honesty, like
good manners, is always appropriate and never goes out of
fashion. Surely we have all done bone headed th
In the not originally horn category are some of my favorite duets, the
Canonic Sonatas by Telemann. Fantastically beautiful and astonishinly
inventive. There is only one page of music. Player one starts and player two

Howard, I would at least have expected a nice excuse & thank
you for your care. But just: we dont need your effort as we
found the parts. I had worked for them allready (scanned the
parts, trimmed & sent FREE) & had not charged one single
cent. That´s the point. Good manners is the other point.

What would have been better, telling Hans that his generosity of time
and energy saved the performance, or the truth? Either way, he should
have been thanked profusely, and some token gesture for his efforts
should have been offered, if those in fact were not done.
Nevertheless, I would not let s
Here's a request from the other end of difficulty. I have volunteered to teach
a beginning kid--lesson fees to our church. What dead simple duets are
available with recognizable tunes? He wouldn't recognize hymn tunes, though.

Longshot here, but I sort of remember when I was 5 or 6 years old,
taking my first piano lessons that I had to grind through some very easy
two-finger songs written in big fat notes. The notes I think hovered
around middle c, and were mostly quarters and halves. So - check out

I'd also check out beginner recorder books. Recorder is taught in many
elementary schools to all students and there is a ton of material out there.
Most of it would benefit from transposition to another key (recorder

I don't think the 1500-1800 you mention would be a slap in the face. Of
course travel
and hotel would be a given. Maybe some beer money too.
