For Schoenberg: you just need to play the written notes as exact as possible. Do you really enjoy Schoenberg ?
But Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Wagner, Bruckner ........ If people having difficulties with the Viennese Classics, they come with John Cage & Schoenberg. I can live with that. And again, you have not understood my letter(s). I just pointed on the fact, that mastering obstacles in the mouth area consume a players efforts to such a percentage, that nearly nothing is left for the musical interpretation, for a most natural playing. If you cannot understand the term "natural playing" I cannot help you. There is a very big difference between "learned playing" & "natural playing" as the difference between stiff & relaxed. Has nothing to do with correct playing, as I regard this as given. Compare "Blue Danube" between Vienna Philharmonic & any other orchestra. That�s it. Do you know the sentence "pearls before swine ...." Sorry, it is just a proverb & has nothing to do with you personally nor have my letters anything to do with you personally. ========================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 4:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hornlist] something to think HR I'm sure that Sc�nberg's or Cage's definition of music is much different than our own. For that matter, Sch�nberg's definition wouldn't even involve the "little black dots" until he was nearly finished writing the piece. So don't lay it on us that there is only one way to play something right. If you really think that, I don't know how you ever survived playing so long because it would have been really tough telling all of those conductors that they were wrong. Leave the interpretation part of music opened to the interpretor.
