I think this is the first time that youtube has recommended me a video from someone I know in real life. I'm super happy for your success as a professional horn player, Scott! Sorry about revealing your tryout number to the regional TMEA judges back in Junior year or thereabouts!
In the 60s, my horn teacher told me that his teacher was playing in the NY Philharmonic when he was 14 years old, apparently in the 1930s. During a performance of this movement, he glanced at the English horn player and saw him rattling and shaking his apparently broken instrument. So the kid played the solo on his horn. It was in the papers the next day. I have no way of knowing whether this was true.
I am a clarinetist/saxophonist, and I somehow thankfully stumbled across your RU-vid shorts and thus your channel. Listening to your playing is such a pleasure!
As a French horn major, it does sound better on English Horn. There’s just something about the eeriness and timbre of it that makes the melody so fitting. On French horn it sounds smoother, but it takes away from the soothing nature of the instruments around it.
@@jeremiahvelez7338 I think it's the naturally darker tone of the English Horn that makes it sound more beautiful when it's played in a passage like this
OMG that's amazing Scott 😥😥 That's from my favourite symphony. Do you by chance sell your arrangements?? Did you write that arrangement or acquire from IMSLP?
Is the cor anglais part in F for more than 2 bars straight?! Still, the written Cs in the last movement are high enough for me, so I'll stick to my own part on Saturday (where I'm also playing 4th in the Accademic festival overture that you recently played an excerpt from)
