The sentence should read: the Missa was written after 1796, horns (or crooks) in Bb-basso (I owned just one from mid 19th cen. - a gigant of a crook 4-times coiled)were NOT known before Don Giovanni, but were availably after 1796, time of the Missa. Most they used couplers. But Haydns music would be "verhuntzt" using this HEAVY equipment with the very very dull sound, much too heavy for Papa Josephus or Pepi-Papa.
Carl, you miscalculated, 1796 is 18th not 19th century !! HaHa ! Youth Fountain ? Hard Work, keep the brain working all times. Few animal protein, just a bit of wine, good habits, if smoking, quit instantly WITHOUT pills or whatever, etc. Thermal therapy when at my age, helps like charging the battery of live. Always new tasks. ============================================================ ================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl Ek Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 7:11 PM To: Hornlist memphis Subject: [Hornlist] Hans in the 19th century :) > from: "hans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hello Hans, and all, Wow.
