Yes, that´s common practice. About asking for that in an audition: I would ask the horn player in the jury to do it first for me, so I can adopt his or her style & play it correctly. ..........
If a jury asks for the Brandenburg, the jury would demonstrate its incompetence, as asking this is mere "idiotic-sadistic". No normal horn player would play the Brandenburg 1st horn part today without using a descant horn, special for sound reason. Where do they ask for such excerpt ? What kind of an orchestra or better what kind of a conductor ? Perhaps a conductor who studied horn & did not make it to the exam ????? ########################################################################################### Am 22.02.2010 um 04:56 schrieb [email protected]: > In every recording on hornexcerpts.org of the trio of Brandenburg #1 it > sounds like in measures 5/6, 13/14, 21/22, 29/30 the first and second horns > switch parts (from what's written in the part on the website/the Thompson > book).
