From: Scott Pappal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Hornlist] Triple/Descant Usage
Der Perfesser: You mentioned that Phil Myer's method of combining the three sides of his horn is not easily understood or categorized. I've been to several Phil Myer's masterclasses (he usually comes yearly to Carnegie-Mellon U. in Pittsburgh) and have never been able to find much rhyme or reason to his fingering choices - when I'm fortunate enough to be able to see his left hand. How would you summarize Phil's method of using the triple? I ask because I use a Schmid F/Bb/f much of the time, and although I have my own system for combining the sides under different conditions, I'm always interesting in hearing someone else's approach. ------------------------------------------------------- No doubt the Perfector will provide good answers, but actually Phil Myers has told the story quite eloquently himself. One just has to know where to look: <http://www.osmun.com/reference/Myers-Schmid/Meyers1.html> As I interpret PM, he sees the triple horn as an extended palette of artistic expressivity options.
