Most common intonational woes are NOT caused by the
poor musicianship of horn players performing atonal
music. To suggest such is absurd. Nice excuse. HA
I would say horrible listening skills ( see below!!!),
lack of attention to pitch, and the lack of quality in
many "wind ensembles" playing
Do you refer to Altenburg´s "heroic art of trumpet playing"
? Yes, the trumpeters would not play the horns then & horn
players were not allowed to "treat" the trumpets. Trumpet
players had to be born within a matrimonial couple & possess
a clean criminal record, as they were used as
parlamentarians
I always try competition winners. These are tough pieces in tough keys - but
you have to be careful and play them accurately.
I won a competition the other year with the Won Weber in E, and I also won
another competition with the Rosetti Concerto No. 5 in E.

I don't think you will win a competition playing the second and third

if it is open to all instrumentalists'. Kalmus has a lrge selection of parts

I read in one source that originally cornets were, as the name would
suggest, "small cornos", meant to be played by horn players. Trumpet players
would not lower themselves to play such an instrument and kept to their natural
long trumpets. They (literally)had their own union and there was

Yeah, the version that's up was before I added in a lot of the

I heard the Dukas Villanelle for the first time last night, French Horn
soloist with a concert band. Does anyone know if the concert band
arrangment of this is in the same key as the orchestral version? The
version I heard had numerous G's (top of the treble clef, concert C above

It translates "with free performance (or recitation)" -
somew kind of a recitativo, not just slow down. Strauss´
handwriting says the same (exactly the same wording). Yes,
it may start with dotted quarter = quarter. The upbeat to
the stretta should be in exact the same tempo as the
stretta, so agai

Dear Horn Geeks,
There is a difference acoustically between C# and Db, but in the practical
world if you just play with the most beautiful round, warm, enveloping sound
you can and imagine everything in tempered pitch, don't things usually work out?

Hello,
I would like to participate and hopefully win the 3 2007-2008 season young
artist competitions in my area, but I am not sure as to what solo I should do.
Please keep in mind that the piece needs to be easy to find for the orchestra

Hi,
Hey Hans, I'm sitting here with the original piano reduction to the
Strauss one and at the 4/4 section in the last movement in the
International Edition it says "Mit freiem Vortrag" but the original
handwriting is a bit unclear and I was wondering what your take on
this was. I guess it
There's Dillon Music, http://www.dillonmusic.com/, in Woodbridge, NJ, not far
from NYC. They know brass and horns, and I send students and section mates
there.

The life span was perhaps like you said, but for instruments
played every day. Some very good instruments were made for
rich people who did not play them but got them played
occasionally only. But they got them preserved very well.
I know many players, who have to get valve jobs made on
their horn

This is all perfect, but far too confusing most people, who
struggle from note to note, cracking more notes than written
or splitting every note ever second time (a bit exaggerated
but true !) or worse splitting three notes out of two
written notes.
The more important thing is it, to give the e.g
