Played very well on pistons,wow.
It's a really great instrument - very versatile!
Amazing, thank you both, for the performance and talk. Nice to know the background to the music and the instrument. So many different sounds you create with it.
My pleasure - I must say this is a lovely horn - it's counterintuitive using Thevet's hand position, I think it really does work though!
Absolutely wonderful I enjoyed this enormously including the very artful vibrato
I know that you can cover from c below the bass clef to c above the treble clef on the F horn efficiently and accurately. Does having the horn in G and C readily available with the ascending 3rd valve
give you a particular advantage? Very nice performance by the way! KMG
Thanks for the performance.
I noticed no hand IN the bell.
Also, I wonder how comfortable the left hand holding and functioning is; it looks very awkward and UNcomfortable.
Good spot! I'm emulating the hand position of the horn player Lucien Thevet - this is the hand position he used (check out his recording of the sonata with Poulenc himself at the piano). It's actually not too uncomfortable though takes some getting used to!
