Imagine showing up to rehearsal and the composer puts this on your stand.

Schumann: Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra, finale

[ClarinetEnthusiast]

That 16th note articulation was crispier than Kentucky Fried Chicken from the great state of Kentucky cooked by the colonel himself!

[cheezemuffin]

Composer: *Calmly places this on my stand*

The high register:

[sophiathepianist]

It’s from Konzertstück for four horns by Schumann! I like that piece a lot; it’s very cool 😁

[callam_likes_dasies]

i would cry if that was put on my stand
(horn player myself)

[NigelRamses]

I would say, “Thank you for your misplaced confidence in me.”

I just got home from rehearsal wherein I had a 10 measure section containing 14 notes above the staff. I worked it everyday this week and got it so it was no biggie… I missed every note. Thank you for an inspiringly awesome demonstration of how truly inadequate I am 😃

[JorgeLopez-fulb]

Great Scott! That's terrific horn playing!!

[jimpurcell]

Thanks for including the score. Helps immensely.

In vienna they are playing this for the first time ever on vienna horns on Sunday 14th of may

[Last_Survivor]

I would politely tell them i that i didn't think it was possible

But here you are playing it, so i guess that's not true

That third ledger line e is absolutely crazy though

[acetraineraster]

I would absolutely die--- that's wayyy too high for me

[angryprimalbug]

I’d be like: bro that’s crazy I don’t play horn

[frogyfrog]

I would probably cry because I play the flute

[MorikawaMelodies]

I'm third horn so tbh I would be fine

[nae_eoneo]

See me there begging for either of the two lower parts 😂 (I’m a horn player)

[htuniverse]

A weird place to ask but what exercises would help for note accuracy. It’s pretty much the main problem I have to overcome rn because I can hit the notes and play them well but not all the time😅

[barbourgirl]

Or, the composer wants you to transpose it as you're sightreading it. That happened to me once. Was more than happy to oblige.😉

[FeckHallBahn]

When your only choice of horn was a single F, with 3 valves if you were lucky!!!

[cjkellner]

depends which instrument I'm holding

[stergerkingfootlettuce]

The boston brass is coming to play with my concert band im pretty scared bc one is a horn player and im not the best

[samdajellybeenie]

Pretty good. Now do it on natural horn like John Elliot Gardiner’s orchestra hehehe
