Martin, I hope it's not just that (because of the way you are playing it) he thinks you are not watching the conductor and is trying to help! I must admit to having tried to signal to tunnel-vision-afflicted players who were so engrossed in following the notes on the page that they became oblivious to the sounds around them and to the efforts of the conductor to control them. :-) Simon _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
