See, now hasn't this been interesting? No one really knows why. I wonder if the esteemed Prof. Cabbage is on this list and would care to weigh in.
Last night, a performance of Mahler 6 in Essen, 105 years to the day after its premiere there. Now onto Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon. Take it easy, all of you.

Perhaps one of you scientific minded folks out there can answer my question about offstage brass. Specifically, why do offstage instruments sound flat from the stage? It's obviously not the Doppler effect, since we are not moving relative to one another, but a Google search did not tell me what I wanted to know. Anyway, if anyone knows, I'd be interested in the answer. All the best to all of you, Bob Ward Principal Horn San Francisco Symphony _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/rnward%40comcast.net _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
