Anyone have any experiences they'd care to relate about Amati brass
instruments? I got asked by a parent about this, and it looks like they
make all sorts of things - tubas, trumpet, and even French Horns. Student,
intermediate, or better - or junk?
As always with things like this, first- or
You're looking at a Bb basso horn part (In German notation B=Bb; H=B
natural). If you use the interval method (which generally works well
since Bb basso parts typically just use harmonic intervals of a natural
horn in Bb), transpose a fifth down.

Greetings -
This is one of the ways to transpose I've heard of.
Don't thing clefs. Don't think intervals.
Think in the key. You've got to know your horn
very well to do this, but it's no more difficult
than playing a part in F.
Okay.

I think this is also the way I transpose most of the time. Horn parts
are just movable-Do solfege. When

I transpose by interval. For the less common keys like Db or Ab I do a
double transposition (horn in D in E) It works for me.
I teach my pupils as many methods I can think of and leave it to them to
decide which one they find easiest - different minds think different ways.

Transposing is SO much a part of horn playing or Wagner tuba playing.
Last weekend we performed Strauss' Alpine Symphony and I covered horn VI
and B-flat tuben. Every time I play a tuben part I have to decode what
method the composer chose to write the part. Sometimes they are in bass clef
or
There is some confusion about this. This post caused me to go back
and look at the score, and take another look. After doing so, it is
clear to me that the parts are correctly in Bb alto. The key to
determining this is looking at five and four bars before the end of
the First Part. If

Interesting observation. I have to tell the story that the last time we did
Sacre in Spokane, I read the B-flat alto tuben part UP, where it really is
pretty high. I was instructed right then and there to do it down an octave.
It DID sound a little goofy up high. I'll have a look at the
