Dear All
Mr. Kaoru Chiba, the long time First Horn of
the NHK Symphony Orchestra, passed away on
21 June in Tokyo. He was 80.
Mr. Chiba was one of the very few students of
late Dennis Brain, taking lessons from him
during the latter's final months in 1956-57.
Throughout the second half of the last century,
Mr. Chiba ("Baachi") had been truly a father-
like figure for all the hornists in Japan.
He is survived by his wife, Ms. Reiko Honsho.
Their address is:
1-11-3, Naka-Ochiai,
Shinjuku, Tokyo 161-0032
JAPAN
With deepest sorrow
Jun Yamada (now in Bangkok, Thailand)
