But the "pure" seconds and sevenths are way out. Unless one is an alphorn player, I can't recall ever having heard these used in any kind of common practice.
I recall hearing a broadcast of Weber's "Oberon" overture, when I immediately knew that the opening phrase had been played on a natural horn,* because it consisted of a major tone followed by a minor tone. I know you could get the same tuning with a chromatic horn, but I don't recall hearing one play the second note significantly different from the mean between the two outer ones (which a good player usually gets close to a
just major third apart, whatever fingering s/he uses). * similar tuning to an alphorn, of course. -- Ken Moore _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
