That's the key! If you're up to it, then go for it. I've had youngsters who could handle these; and mature players often can't handle them. Sometimes...
The Kopprasch 60 etudes for first horn are, for the most part identical to the second horn etudes except up a third or a fourth. Top note is E, and lots of...
Tragic Overture and Mahler 3 down to the pedal E should be part of a fourth horn audition. Keep in mind that the reason to play Mozart at the audition is not...
