Wow you guys sure do make things complicated!   If I had given this much thought to what note I was suppose to be playing or what key the rest of the orchestra was playing compared to what my transposition was, I don't think I would have ever played the correct note.     Well not that I always

Most wise Professor. This old hornist asks the most relevelant question, does the female voice say recalculating after one clams a transposed note with this system that all of the younger techie geeks will flock to buy and place on their stands? Won't that infuriate most conductors, even those

Ah yes, Scott. To be young and still think that most conductors are infallable and that they are god... Sorry to burst your bubble, but I can tell stories and I don't play at the level that Hans and others on this forum have worked. I personally have worked under conductors that in some cases

To my knowledge, in :Il Re Pastori there are two arias. The first (in C minor) with two horns in E flat and two horns in C. After the recitative there is another aria ( in C major ) with 4 horns in C. This is in the second act of the opera. Regards.

I was playing in an amateur orchestra where everyone was getting lost in a contemporary piece that was free-flowing with no definite rythm. The conductor waved the stick in a free-flowing style trying to emote. I respectfully asked him--I even played the senior citizen card--to give a definite

Hi Val,   And what is a crooked key???  I don't think I ever ran across one of those.  Is that a key that has been droped on the floor or one that has had a little to much to drink.  :)   Milton --- On Mon, 8/17/09, wells123...@juno.com wells123...@juno.com wrote: From: wells123...@juno.com
