Hello Howard, just play the low D very soft. There will not be any
difference. ...
At this low note & low dynamic there is no distinction in the sound. The
composer either wanted it very soft or did use the con sord. markings
only, because it exists (composers often use certain "markings", because
they are possible. If it makes sense or not, that´s not a question for
them !!!)

Subject: [Hornlist] Amahl introduction
From: Howard Sanner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: horn@music.memphis.edu, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the introduction to Amahl and the Night Visitors, just before the
Allegro moderato, the horn is in unison with the cellos. The part ends
on a written D below middle C, which is marked con sordino.
There's very little time (an eighth rest) to get the mute in. I've
tried it several ways: mute substituting for my hand in the open
measures, D stopped, D half stopped, with various fingerings. None
seems very satisfactory.
What do people do who play this for a living? There is a practical
reason for the question (for once): I have to play the introduction in
a couple
of weeks.
Thanks.
Howard Sanner
