I try it again to incend a fire(works) about conductors
their means of interpretation, as the first attempt resulted
in zero effect but one single reply. Are you to cautious to
talk
Hello Wendell, Lawrence said it streight:
The conductor-pigs do better concerts than those who just
like to please the orchestra with their sweet talk.
Personally, I prefer the bad people in front, as they keep
all high alert prepared, so to make best quality music.

What makes a good conductor
Speaking strictly as an audience member, the most reliable factor that
always seems to separate the good conductors from the not-so-good is how
they use tempo. The good ones just seem to have the right feel for the
tempo and the general flow
Okay, another probably dumb question from a non-player:
I was poking around on the web and came across Robert Ward's web site
where he lists the horns played by the San Franscisco S.O.'s horn
section, and one of the models was described as an old Paxman double
change valve descant.

The tempos stay in certain relations each other
(ganzzahlig), that´s it. Once a conductor has understood
this, he is good. Well, can you describe clean colours ?
Colours which you can find in nature ? If you can describe
them, you have to transpose that to music. That´s it. Some
have this ability
Alexander once used a double-change-valve for the Bb-highF
horns. They were two single valves working simultaneously
connected by a linkage.

. . . what's a double change valve?
One valve sends the vibrations from the leadpipe to either the Bb
side or the high F side. The other valve sends the vibrations from
either the Bb side or the high F side onward to the bell. These two

And your point is what?
Wendell Rider
My point is that in this particular case once the conductor was calmed down
the performances suffered. I've seen similar things happen with sportsmen.
Cheers,
Linda,
I'm going to answer this even though it has been answered already, only because
the explainations to me weren't clear and I know what they were talking about,
so I figured you might not of gotten the jist of it. Double change valve
refers to the obvious, there are 2 changes valves.

Next time we have to explain that the air flows from the

Sorry, did I get it right, that the both valves are sending
out vibrations. Are they vibrators ? And is that the source
of the notorious vibrato often heard at delicate horn soli ?
Ooops, I opened a worm can, perhaps.
How to overcome this effect ? Very simply, start the vibrato

I only recently found out what the heck was wrong with me. Focal dystonia.

Where is the Cabbage in all this? I'm sure he would be willing to explain

I'm sure it has something to do with the distribution of electrons in the

Thank you, Peter, for this N.Y.Times story. But something is
strange with that story: why was the trumpet case on the
