To be honest, I didn't even read your original post, but I was able to
find out your claim to fame by entering your name into Google. Now I'm
curious to hear your playing so I can judge it for myself. I'm prepared
to be impressed.
I apologize for the misspelling of your name, but my post was
Speaking of transposing, as we just were - it was my good fortune last
week to have a planned informal woodwind octet session downsize into
just a trio - flute, clarinet, horn. So instead of playing octets, we
turned mostly to trio sonatas - Vivaldi, Telemann, Quantz, et al., and
I played
On 17 September, I will be a soloist with the Salt Creek Sinfonietta for its
concert at 3 p.m. at the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hinsdale. On the
program for me are the first movements of the Telemann Suite in F for 2
horns and strings and the Mozart Sinfonie Concertante. If any of you are

There's a cello in there too, isn't there? This
movement also exists as a separate work in Hummel's
hand in the Austrian National Library. It appears
that he may have thought of it first as a stand-alone
piece. Lovely stuff.

I agree that regular oiling protect the surfaces. However, I know a
professional player who doesn't use any oil on the valves or shafts on his
Alex.
Another variable is how acid you are. Some people get green hands. Some
people's breath will corrode brass, it seems.

Hans, you are the man. I have always been uncomfortable in H , the notes
didn't center where I wanted to hear them. In short I felt like I had to
manipulate the pitches to get the right tonality. All of this because of how I
was thinking about the the transposition. I have always known c# is
Again, it depends on how your brain works. One can use the
transpose-to-C-then-flat just for the fingering. The tonalities are there in
the music in the written key.
Actually I think that the seeing the tonality in the written key is a red
herring. Note that many string instruments and bass clef
Hi Rob,
It sounds crazy to me, too. I've been having this discussion with all my
European suppliers for years. Oiling the inside of the horn is very
important for several reasons: it keeps the inside of the horn clean, it
prevents the valves and casings from corroding, it inhibits the deposits of
I play on an Alex 103 and have never oiled the valve facings, yet I see Conn
8D people do it all the time. I think the Alexander folks have enough
experience under their belts to know what is good for their instruments, so
when they say not to oil the valve facings, I listen!

Brahms 2.
From what I remember, there wouldn't have been a problem writing that movement
in F - H wasn't done to avoid leger lines. If there is a historical reason

the reader? I know one can learn it, practice it and
Seems to me this is one of the few spots in the literature that my

it in years, but I remember the licks!

Hornplayers were used to have no key signature in front,
o.k. and they have remained so. The picture is clean then
compared you would have written all in F, o.k. That´s the
reason why composers as Brahms even R.Strauss used such
methods. Can you imagine all the A transpositions in e.g.

which has better gap sealing properties than either alone. If you are
