Hello Beej - I played a Sansone double such as yours for my college audition. I did not own a horn, and through a friend was able to find that the repairman at the local music store was a horn player who lent me that horn. I played it for about two months, and although I did enjoy it, I would

Hi Walt - the Durufle is originally scored for full orchestra, chorus, and organ. Eventually there was a condensed version for strings and trumpets, which is what you have. It would certainly make discussions of these type of questions easier if more people were aware of the fact that many

I beg to differ - the throat contains many muscles that provide a fine degree of control over such functions as swallowing, voice production, [controlling the larynx,] and such. If we did not have musculature in our necks/throats, we would have to depend on our spines and our brain stems to

Believe it or not, in my GS group, we have had several soloists who had a hard time going just slow enough not to make mincemeat of the words, despite the music directors insistence on sowing down. It seems that people unconsciously have the need to use such pieces to show off what they can

Hans and fellow listers - I agree with what you say here. I never meant to sound like I was saying that vibrato is all that important, just that Myron Bloom already played with it before going to France, and that it was indeed an enhancement of his musicality, not a critical component of it.

[Hornlist] vibrato and Myron Bloom

2004-04-01 Thread David Jewell
On the thread concerning vibrato and Myron Bloom, I was listening to a Music Minus One recording of Mr. Bloom playing intermediate solos yesterday, and I noticed again that he had a wonderful, singing tone, enhanced by the use of a subtle vibrato. This was recorded during his later career days

Alan - although this horn may seem unusual the theory behind it seems plausible enough. Osmun was for a very short while carrying Thein horns but not for long. If you google search for their website they are very good about sending you their complete catalog as they make trumpets and trombones

Hans - I thank you for your attention to detail. I did mean Joseph Reicha, not Anton, and as a former semiprofessional copyist and music history major, I am aware that in the 1700's everything was done by hand. Thus many transliterations and misspellings, etc. [such as mine,] I also know that

Not to get picky, [but I realize I am] but there is no such thing as a minor 4th. 4ths are a perfect interval; as such they can only be diminished or augmented [the infamous tritone or diabolus in musicus.] Paxmaha David Goldberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In Europe, that would be the steady

Folks, this effect is basic acoustics. Bass frequencies can have wavelengths up to 40 feet or more. Treble frequencies can be as short as millimeters. Air loss and absorption occurs more readily in the upper frequencies, while bass will cause more things to resonate than will the mids/uppers.
