If one plays the whole thing (nearly) exclusively on the Bb-side, no wonder it creates an endurance problem often. If one plays the hornpart with (as so often heard) "too much blowing air through the instrument", no wonder again, as endurance becomes problematic.
Use the F-side, where ever you can, and use the thumb valve (for Bb) as a helping tool if things become tiring. Play the piece with light singing tone, very relaxed. Endurance will not be a problem then. But as so often, people do never try my advise. Let them fall thumb, if they think my advise being silly. I never had a problem with "Auf dem Strom" nor had I a problem with "Flying Dutchman" or "Goetterdaemmerung" (whole thing, without assistant off course). But that is my problem. ............................................... "W.
