[Hornlist] Lawson Memorial Scholarship Fund

2008-03-17 Thread Phil Hooks
After Walter Lawson died, it was proposed that the International Horn Society establish a scholarship fund in Walter's memory. The Advisory Council determined that it could move ahead on such a scholarship only after contributions reached at least $5,000, over a period of 5 years. I understand

Hello Adam, it was common use, to have the horn parts in different keys in the past. The most common keys were F, E-flat & D, less often E. Baroque music was anotated in a different way. BTW, my first shipment (you remember, I resent it) just arrived back three weeks ago. I had addressed it to
