Horn Workshop July 05


Luca Vanneschi : Aforismi

Luca Vanneschi's piece is interesting and varied. Tim found most of the piece comfortable. The following small but interesting points arose in the workshop:
  • The 'suono d'eco' (echo tone) notation on the second-to-last line. This would usually mean that the player plays the note above and hand-stops it down to the correct pitch, playing it quietly, to prevent the usual buzzy 'stopped sound' to come through. But this low in the register Tim said this is not feasible.
  • The flutter tongue in the first line is written to fade away. Tim explained that as the sound fades it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the flutter.
  • The piece uses the term cuivré. Tim explained that some composers use this to mean stopped, so there is ocassionally confusion over this. In Luca's piece there were also the + signs to symbolise stopped notes, so Tim assumed that cuivré here had its more usual meaning of a loud 'brassy' sound.
The extract performed is shown below, at written (transposed) pitch.

The position of the world today is getting very bad. And the reason is the increasing situation of COVID by [url=https://www.edugeeksclub.com/proofreading/]proofreading services[/url] source. Due to this pandemic, the economy of almost every country is decreasing from time to time. Every country is facing the problem of economic loss.
