Book Synopsis The Artistic Merits of Incorporating Natural Horn Techniques Into Valve Horn Performance by : Adam Greaves
Download or read book The Artistic Merits of Incorporating Natural Horn Techniques Into Valve Horn Performance written by Adam Greaves and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation addresses the significance of how a command of the natural horn can aid performance on its modern, valve counterpart. Building on research already conducted on the topic, the practice-led project assesses the artistic merits of utilising natural horn techniques in performances on the valve horn. The exegesis analyses aesthetic decisions made in the recitals - here disposed as two CD recordings - and assesses the necessity or otherwise of valve horn players developing a command of the natural horn. The first recital comprises a comparison of performances by the candidate of Brahms' Horn Trio, Op.40 (1865) on the natural and valve horns. The exegesis evaluates the two performances from an aesthetic and technical standpoint. The second recital, while predominantly performed on the valve horn, contains compositions that have been written with elements of natural horn technique taken into consideration. It also contains two pieces commissioned for this project, one by a student composer and the other by a professional horn player. These two commissions are offered as case studies in the incorporation of natural horn techniques into compositional praxis. As such the effectiveness of utilising natural horn techniques in valve horn performance can be assessed.
Book Synopsis The Art of French Horn Playing by : Philip Farkas
Download or read book The Art of French Horn Playing written by Philip Farkas and published by Warner Bros. Publications. This book was released on 1956 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First to be published in the series was The Art of French Horn Playing by Philip Farkas, now Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Music at Indiana University. In 1956, when Summy-Birchard published Farkas's book, he was a solo horn player for the Chicago Symphony and had held similar positions with other orchestras, including the Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and Kansas City Conservatory, DePaul University, Northwestern University, and Roosevelt University in Chicago. The Art of French Horn Playing set the pattern, and other books in the series soon followed, offering help to students in learning to master their instruments and achieve their goals.
Book Synopsis Applying Natural Horn Technique to Modern Valved Horn Performance Practice by : Heidi Wick
Download or read book Applying Natural Horn Technique to Modern Valved Horn Performance Practice written by Heidi Wick and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study is to recognize and explore the use of natural horn techniques in modern horn playing. Music composed for the horn by the great Classicists, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, contains subtleties for the valveless instrument that can sometimes be accomplished with the valved horn. Natural horn techniques applied to the modern valved horn can also be used in literature intended for the valved instrument. Of the compositions originally written for valved horn, I consider two categories: pieces in which the composer 1) directs the performer to use a natural horn technique, and 2) does notdirect such a technique but where the use of the technique can enhance the effect intended by the composer. This document examines the use of techniques specific to the natural horn applied to modern valved horn performance in selected repertoire from the 18th through 20th centuries. Natural horn techniques explored in this document include right hand movements, embouchure flexibility and facility, ornamentation fluidity, oral cavity adjustments, and air stream usage. Also explored are the effects associated with natural horn technique: natural harmonic intonation and varied timbres. This work is founded in my studies of the natural horn and the valved horn. These studies have been four-fold: 1) through listening to excellent natural horn artists, 2) by reading and using the tutors of the great natural horn teachers, 3) through private lessons and masterclasses on natural horn with Richard Serpahinoff at Indiana University and on valved horn with Charles Waddell at The Ohio State University, 4) by performing great literature on each horn. This document also includes a performance practice survey of professional horn players from the United States and Europe who have developed natural horn techniques. Developing advanced technique on each instrument can enliven the performers interpretation. An increased awareness of timbre and harmonic structure as related to crooks/keys and a heightened knowledge of the harmonic series and its pitch tendencies result when interconnecting these instruments. By developing extended techniques through direct experience with the natural horn and its literature, horn players can come to know not only an increased technical facility but also the historical context of their instrument. It is my hope that we, as modern valved horn players, continue to develop the versatility of our instrument. Many of the expressions presented in this document encourage the lyrical and vocal styles in our playing that were so admired in the artistry of the greatest 18th and 19th-century horn virtuosi.
Book Synopsis Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire, 1792 to 1903 by : Jeffrey L. Snedeker
Download or read book Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire, 1792 to 1903 written by Jeffrey L. Snedeker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from the valveless natural horn to the modern valved horn in 19th-century Paris was different from similar transitions in other countries. While valve technology was received happily by players of other members of the brass family, strong support for the natural horn, with its varied color palette and virtuoso performance traditions, slowed the reception and application of the valve to the horn. Using primary sources including Conservatoire method books, accounts of performances and technological advances, and other evidence, this book tells the story of the transition from natural horn to valved horn at the Conservatoire, from 1792 to 1903, including close examination of horn teaching before the arrival of valved brass in Paris, the initial reception and application of this technology to the horn, the persistence of the natural horn, and the progression of acceptance, use, controversies, and eventual adoption of the valved instrument in the Parisian community and at the Conservatoire. Active scholars, performers, and students interested in the horn, 19th-century brass instruments, teaching methods associated with the Conservatoire, and the intersection of technology and performing practice will find this book useful in its details and conclusions, including ramifications on historically-informed performance today.

Book Synopsis Performing Brahms by : Michael Musgrave
Download or read book Performing Brahms written by Michael Musgrave and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of evidence survives about how Brahms and his contemporaries performed his music. But much of this evidence - found in letters, autograph scores, treatises, publications, recordings, and more - has been hard to access, both for musicians and for scholars. This book brings the most important evidence together into one volume. It also includes discussions by leading Brahms scholars of the many issues raised by the evidence. The period spanned by the life of Brahms and the following generation saw a crucial transition in performance style. As a result, modern performance practices differ significantly from those of Brahms's time. By exploring the musical styles and habits of Brahms's era, this book will help musicians and scholars understand Brahms's music better and bring fresh ideas to present-day performance. The value of the book is greatly enhanced by the accompanying CD of historic recordings - including a performance by Brahms himself.
