Playing Strauss on a fat, old Hoyer has an entirely different feel than playing it on my Conn. I still struggle with the same passages and have the same problems with my technique, but I have more fun. When you don't have to rely on your playing for a living and play for the sheer joy of it, I think the fun factor seems more important. At least it does for me. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
