More years ago than I care to count, BBC Radio 3 decided to record
part of a concert of the University of London Orchestra, where I was
playing 1st horn at the time, for broadcast as part of their "Youth
Orchestras of the World" series.

One of the pieces recorded was the orchestral suite from "West Side
Story". In the horn solos, I had thought I was producing plenty of
sound, but when I heard it later on the broadcast, the solos didn't
come through nearly as much as I had intended. It taught me a very
important lesson about projecting sound so that it will be right when
heard by someone well back in the audience.

Regards
