Horn basics

Thanks to the basic exercises compiled here, I have been able to build and maintain my orchestral, soloist and chamber music career in the best physical shape, as is absolutely necessary in our profession. They are the technical foundation that I pass on to my students. This booklet is actually what I have always wanted to own. I emphasize here emphatically: technical efficiency requires patience, intelligence and long-term objectives. Technical perfection - this should be remembered - is never an end in itself, but a means to build self-confidence in one's own resources and to be able to express the rich musical emotions.
