Hello William, I have to come back to your Flying Dutchman example. This little solo is in the easiest range, even at early morning:
notated as g (below space) c - c - g - c - c - g (held), horn in D, means a third lower. Tell me, really, what kind of flexibility is needed there ? It is just the range of one octave, from our e below space to the e on the lowest line. But if you exaggerate the forte & fortissimo at the very beginning, no wonder you get difficulties in the morning rehearsal, when arriving at this spot. Reduce the forte & fortissimo somewhat and cease thinking about a handicap due to morning chops. That´s it. Fortissimo does not require blowing hell out of your horn. It just means quite loud, - but within the ensemble. ########################################################################################## Am 14.06.2010 um 16:11 schrieb William.S.Gross: > A problem I've been fighting for a while is lack of flexibilty in the > morning.
