I've done Clarke for years - they're all GREAT for expanding our toolbox of capabilities. I always envied the trumpet players' ability to play fast and light, while we hornists plodded along. So about 20 years ago, I decided to play what they play and see if it helped.
It did - Arban and Vizzutti are great, too - Sandra Clark Toledo, OH -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Freides Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 10:17 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: [Hornlist] A Brass Study Is A Brass Study? Earlier this evening I played through one of my son's trumpet studies by Herbert Clark. I did the one he'd been working on, #6 in B-minor. Since that's concert A-minor, that's the key I played it in, too (just an octave lower, of course). How often does one run across a French Horn part written in the key of Bb? It made a fine French Horn study, too. It's well above my level of ability to play well on the French Horn, but it was an interesting exercise to go through nonetheless. -S- _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/sclark05%40bex.net _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
