[Hornlist] Re Holton improvements

2007-02-25 Thread MUMFORDHornworks
I'm pretty sure Holton tuned them to A=442 with the slides all the way in, a reasonable amount of pull should give A=440. You could get the tuning slide lengthened if it doesn't get there. I'd think about lengthening that little Bb slide first. Those were sometimes kinda short in the 70s. Wi

Howard, there is no difference in the amount of measures, no in the solo part, except the few measures with the aliasses, but the alias in the second movement is also part of the U.E. edition, who took over from Eibl. The facsimile of the Piano reduction shows some cancelled measures, but they obv

The point was not the aliasses, but that the orchestra score was written first (not published first, this took several years because of the finances involved in the settings for print) NOT the piano version. He had not labelled it "Clavierauszug" then. ==

Probably everyone knew that this alternate part was from R. Strauss, himself, by I did not. Had assumed the lower notes were from some over-protective publisher or editor, who might also think they would sell more copies if a lower alternative was provided. Thank you... Fred - Original

I just copied & scanned the facsimile op.11 for a player in the USA. The facsimile is a piano reduction of the orchestra score, as the title reads "Concert fuer das Waldhorn mit Begleitung des Orchesters oder Pianoforte (Es dur) componirt von Richard Strauss op.11" (Concert for the horn with accomp

The tuning slide should bring it down to 440--unless you play on the sharp side of the slot. However, a repair person should be able to add legs to the tuning slide, that is, to lengthen it. I have the opposite problem: I play on the low side, and I can't get up to 442. Shortening the horn is har
