[Hornlist] When Things Go Bad

2009-02-13 Thread Bill Gross
Last night I was practicing and nothing went right. I did some warm ups and started to work Strauss Nocturo. Stuff that has been easy a couple days ago just didn't work. I kept missing simple intervals, the short run about ¼ into the piece fall apart. I quit. I'm wonder if it was just a bad

Dear Bill, such things happen out of nowhere. I remember the Olympic summer of 1972, when I was very busy with the opera with the studio. One morning we had a recording session - the day after a very heavy opera - and not a single note was possible. This was a real shock for me. No, it was a

This kind of experience - having participated on a few productions requiring Wagnertuba - is a no-experience compared with other people playing wagnertuba regularly in large opera houses, which have THE RING, ELEKTRA FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN in their repertory, not just as a one season program. This
