Greetings, and Happy new year to all! Concerning fingering technique there are weeks that I do not play the valve horn but concentrate on the hand horn. I have found that I do need to wake up my left hand when getting back to the valves. I have done this with scales of valve trill, I can get my technique back for most music in about ten minutes.
I performed Janacek's Concertino recently. There is a "lick" in the fourth movement that I think really is too fast for the valves. I succeeded in concert, but only after a serious amount of repetition. Richard O. Burdick P. S.
