    I doubt you'll ever see this, but to the horn player, I love your low-down tone. Great "fat" sound. Not enough players know how to embrace the raspiness below middle C. The notes leading up to that A in the opening statements really have some kick. Smashed it. From a former player.

      Oh, and I meant G...it's been a long time since I've played and I went a fifth in the wrong direction! I used to play 4th in a bunch of youth orchestras due to my low-down ability (my embouchure was rubbish so I'd tire with constant high notes). I did, however, complete my A.Mus.A (in Australia) in 2003, but I chose not to make music my career, and with university and life getting in the way, I gave up a few years later and haven't played since. I still love listening to music, and hearing a good horn player with great tone still excited me. All the best.

    • @stephanieellis5399
      @stephanieellis5399 4 роки тому

      Considering how much Bach himself played around with music, his innumerable variations on a theme, does this not fall into the same theme of play? I wouldn't say that they "spoiled" it. They played with it using styles and techniques that Bach didn't have. They aren't claiming to be playing Bach's work faithfully (though what is that, really?). It's an experiment and everyone in the audience knows that.
      What I mean by "playing it faithfully" is that Bach was so prolific in his writing that he couldn't write each part the way musicians receive them now. They'd get basic themes and notes but the score wouldn't be complete in the way we know them now. I'd bet that there's more than one piece of Bach's that if he heard them today he'd say that they aren't being played they way he intended.
      I agree with you, though. The integrity of Bach's works are so sound that they stand up to experiments like this.
