Hello Dan, all very interesting, but for what use, as most horn players, amateurs as well as professionals, have enough problems commanding the F- & the Bb-side fingerings already. And more than that, even many professional players have problems transposing a simple musical text if there are some accidentals. How should they master the problem of quarter tones ? How will be the relation between effort to master the quarter tone issue and resulting income ?
There is one good thing with quarter-tone-textes: there is no transposing involved. ########################################################## Am 27.12.2010 um 15:18 schrieb Daniel Grabois: > I'm very excited to announce that I have just published my second etude book. > It is called Quarter Tone Manual for French Horn.
