Hello David, This "multi-giga-tera-super- ..." words are created by these stupid fuzzies from the advertising industry, when they try to imitate some foreign language superlatives.

I have been playing tenor saxophone for a few years, and I have decided to make the move to horn (for a great many reasons, mostly because it is such a fantastic instrument and because I dislike jazz, so there is not much of a chance for me to become a professional saxophonist). My teachers and

Hans and others - I have uploaded four sample etudes from Wohlfahrt which will convince you that these violin etudes are not all machine-gun staccato scale exercises or "multi-giga-note-pieces" (very funny!). They are real lyrical etudes that fit perfectly on horn (played in C at least), and t

No no, Hans, not "seem to be" maniac. I really am. As I like to point out here from time to time, there is a great deal of OPM (other peoples' music) that for some reason, hornists don't ever think to enjoy, except when some lone arranger changes a few notes and publishes this literature with
