I defer to Lawrence Yates's statement about this, but I should add that someone else privately reminded me that Beethoven's Pastorale Symphony also contains a passages marked "con sord." That passage has plenty of time for the mute change. The "someone else" I just mentioned was John Ericson, a noted authority on Beethoven-era horn playing in Vienna. He said there are mutes still extant from the period that have some kind of ball that allows it to be tuned on-the-fly in lieu of changing hand positioned. It is surprising one doesn't see it requested more often. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
