Hello, hornophiles-- I was listening to a performance of the Schumann Horn Konzerstueck and trying not to get depressed about how far I am from ever achieving that level of playing when a thought occurred: What kind of horn would the first horn, whose part goes up to at least a high Z, play?

Hello all- Have any of you played Brandenburg 1 recently and received extra soloist pay for the rehearsals and concerts? Is it traditional for this piece to be considered worthy of extra money or are the horn players usually just considered to be a part of the rank and file orchestra? We've

Hi Margaret- I played this show for 12 weeks this summer in Los Angeles. It's actually a fairly tame horn book. Nothing really high, the top note is a written A above the staff, and some nice lyrical solos. It is along show, almost 3 hours, and there are many notes to play so be sure to have

All: Regarding the confusion on the Schumann Konzerstucke, there is an e3 at the end of the first movement for the first horn. I've used Breitkopf, Kalmus, and the new Thompson Performing Edition, and all have this high e3 in the recap. of movement one. The secondary theme ascends to b2 (horn 1)
