Re: [Hornlist] Horn Transposition:

2009-04-28 Thread Ethel Epstein
I play in an orch that does an opera every Fall. The transpositions are very prevelant that when you have Horn in F you almost forget what to do. By the time we have put on 2-3 performances of the said opera, I feel like an expert until the next season rolls around!

I am an 87-year old female horn player! Yep, still playing in 2 community symphony orchestras and 1 band. In the summer I play with 3 bands!!! Keeps my sanity and I love the friends I have!! I play 4th horn in the orchestras and 3 or 4, or sometimes 2nd in the bands. Depends where needed.

Just had some major dental work done on lower front tooth. Due to a sharp edge, which was miniscule, it cut up my tongue, so the playing was a delicate situation. After it was filed down and the tongue tissue healed, I was ok again. I shudder when I have to go to the dentist--for more

What happens to horn in A, Ab, B, and Bb? Arn't they referred to as La? Our orchestra recently did an opera with a vocal group. I did so much transposing, I almost forgot how to read Horn in F at one place. Any tricks in transposing when the keys change so ofen?

You are so right. If the third horn pokes you in time for you to come in, you don't really have to count the rests and can simply enjoy the opera! ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at
