After extended breaks of anywhere up to a year, I warm up carefully on the Rossari etudes transposed to horn in A, then do Book VI of the Maxime-Alphonse a couple of times through, with all the repeats. Then I'm ready for a nice warm bath.
Just kidding. I might get a good soaking now though.

I find the Gallay etudes for second horn are best for getting back my embouchure in good form. The etudes require playing low parts in context, and that brings back the proper embouchure. When I feel my embouchure is playing down into the low register properly, I start adding the Gallay Etudes Brilliant. <snip> _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
