I've been playing horn for about 3 years now, and i got this assignment in private lessons. I only got the part 0:05 through 0:31 . I'd like to know how to get such a nice tone without tiring out so quickly. Do you have any suggestions?
@azulablue you could always try a different mouthpiece or horn model. Maybe you're not compatible with the one you have. Assuming you've experimented with adjusting your lips and your air supply. good luck!
This happens to be my favorite solo; you play so beautifully. One question, how did you get your tone to sound so warm? I've been trying to play with a warmer tone, but I always end up straining and sounding awful. Are there any specific warm ups I should do?
@azulablue Make sure that you are not using a mouthpiece that is too big. The Holton Farkas MDC or Schilke 27 are good choices. Try to play with the center of your lips very relaxed. Keep the opening small and use good air support. Experiment with rolling your lips in. Hopefully this gives you some ideas.
I just played this last month for my higher music exam and I wish I had found this video before then! I love watching your videos as a fellow french horn player, thanks.
Also, quick question... What arrangement of this do you have? Measure (26 or 27 the part you went Bb D F D Bb F D F Bb) my arrangement has one third line Bb then 7 Bb below the staff... The way you played it was also in another recording of mine so I was wondering why that is.
I have the Schirmer arrangement. The arpeggio is an improvisation that I have been doing for years. I think I hear d Barry Tuckwell do it on a recording many years ago.
Yeah I started doing it too after listening to it by several people but I have this audition for a school district group that I know I'm bound to get 1st or 2nd for but the problem is that I don't know if they'll like the way I play the piece since I've been playing it long before i knew it was the audition piece so I'm debating whether to play it as written by the version they gave or my own version...
Your tone sounds really lovely here... I don't know if it has to do with the cool green screen effects in the back, but it certainly adds some atmosphere, even if it looks a little cheesy.
I Just Finished Playing This Solo Today and Got a 1 and A Perfect Score (: Im Proud Because Im Only In The 8th Grade.

You use a Clebschstrap right? How does that attach to the horn?

is a mouth piece with a smaller hole better than a larger one? The outer edge is the same but the inner holes are different

These videos are fantastic!
Could you do a version with no accompaniment? Just straight horn? It would help to hear the instrument.

as a general rule, they will want you to play it as they wrote.
