I've just done a longish post on my blog about how (in my opinion) you should go about playing the horn parts in the Eroica symphony. I would welcome comments,...

I always enjoy playing Beethoven Symphony #3 (Eroica). As you are aware the composition has three horn parts. And the third horn part is just as important,...
I've done just what's suggested here. As fouth horn, I've played as assistant 1st and at the same time covered a couple of notes for the 2nd horn and doubled...

It looks very much like a Conn 8-D and plays and sounds very close as well. One of the major differences in the tuning. The 188 is at A=145, and since the...

... Most American orchestras do, I think, but I think it's pretty common in Europe to tune a little higher, at 442-444. I've had 3 Paxmans, and I've had to...
CORRECTION: Holton 188 is at A=445 not 145! School is out, so my brain must have gone on vacation. At least my proof reading skills seem to have. Eric in Iowa...

Jonathan, You might want to mention in your blog that there is a common practice of playing the Ab (at the end of the first mvt. F horn solo) stopped-in...
Oh, yeah! I know what you mean. Thanks. One of my sections mates from a few years ago had one. I even got a chance to play it. It was a great horn, nice big...
I am trying to get info on what I paid for my brass Holton, screw bell Tuckwell model Horn. So far, no one, including the company, knows. [Non-text portions...
When I tried the H104 as a prototype back in 1993/1994, the list price, if I recall correctly, was just under $6K. The street price was roughly $4200. At...
... That's interesting. The p is not marked in the parts available on the Orchestral Musicians CD-ROM Library. In the Farrenc Edition (1835) score, the Ab is...

Curioser and curioser! The scores also disagree as to whether the cresc should be present in the horn part 2 bars before the Ab! I've now found the digital...
