anyone who criticizes how someone plays a french horn is a dumbass, since it is probably one of the most difficult instruments to get a good sound from.

@supu6 Despite my user-name, I am horn player and I really don't like that whole whining " Horn is hard" crap every instrument has its difficulties. But it's up to us to overcome them and get better, especially outside of high school. In a University setting, your expected to be playing at a semi professional level. Everyone knows hard close the partials are, That's why we practice!

@xHuntedGunzPCGx It is a mindlessly easy clarinet passage. No need to shred it for some dime a dozen half notes.

@AbsoluteZ3R0 Tsk tsk Dvorak, should have learned from Berlioz

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

This symphony would be better if the penultimate chord had a g on the top instead of the same old e.

@supu6 actually i just read it is the hardest instrament to play, and u are very right

@xHuntedGunzPCGx the clarinetist it trying to match the principals pitch on this part. there really is no emotion in this part, it is all on the page. he's looking peripherally to see when the principal places the note. a critical moment like this need extreme concentration.
