I got it for a bit the other morning, but it was resolved when I came back later after having done nothing. I believe I only experienced it on my iPhone. Sorry I can't recreate the issue to help.

I have already explained this. If the room is too small, there is no actual propagation of the true fundamental. There are interactions of the overtones which the ear may perceive as a fundamental, but it is a perception, not an actual propagation of the fundamental.

Pipe organ builders have ...

Galileo and Copernicus were at one point considered heretics and later proven right.

Again, PLEASE go read and study a basic acoustical physics book or course to better understand how sound waves really work, especially with the brain.


It would be easier if you addressed the disparity rather ...

I think there's a a bit of people talking past each other and not addressing direct points being made. thedancingsousa specifically referred to a related comment you made in a different thread, specifically:

5) wavelength of the note. If you are doing these indoors, if the room is not large enough ...

I went to school with a guy who played a PT6-P that stacked some glued silicone/rubber disks onto his trigger to get it to the right height. I wish I could tell you exactly what they were, but I don’t know. I imagine it was softer/more comfortable than cork, but cork could more easily be shaped to ...

Thanks for agreeing to not troll me anymore. I hope you’ll consider extending the same kind courtesy to other members of this forum.

I’ve had a few posts deleted here, but I’ve never pretended that it was anyone’s fault other than my own. If the moderator’s are deleting posts, then I trust that ...

finally:
I've had two or three younger players send me notes over the course of this long debate to thank me for expressing my beliefs in regards to this. It's not that their lips - when playing - were ever hitting against each other in the middle when they were playing, but it seems as though ...

There are some images used later in the video that more clearly depict an ophicleide (2:58, for example). My guess would be that any instruments depicted with an upright bell in this video were meant to be ophicleide.

The video doesn't provide much (any?) information about the sources of the images ...

I know a tuba player who would play through the bass parts to the entire Beethoven symphonies (once a year I think) while playing along to various recordings. I haven't gotten around to trying this myself, but I have to imagine it would be a heck of a workout.

There's a few really great alternative tuba parts to Dvorak 9 floating around that complement the trombones nicely, a few of which have been performed by phenomenal musicians in some of the largest and most successful orchestras.

I recently judged brass auditions for a summer band and woodshed each ...

Um, notice bloke did not mention the audience. He mentioned no respect from management.

I assumed that he was referring to the audience when he said "patrons".

MuseScore is not Finale, Sibelius, or Dorico. A couple of hours is not nearly enough time to understand how it differs and become used to those differences. Give it more time.

I've used MuseScore to make arrangements for solo tuba and piano, brass quintet, Oktoberfest band, and full orchestra. I vaguely recall one time there being something that MuseScore simply couldn't do, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. It must not have been very important.

One way to prepare for this would be to simulate this experience in the practice room. Start a practice session like you would warm up for a concert like this, walk away from the horn for a period of time, and then return and play the passages. If you have to opportunity to do this exercise for many ...

BREAKING NEWS:

Trumpet mouthpiece maker brings to market new line of inner-mouthpiece membrane and noxious gas exhaust modifications with complimentary heavy weight valve caps.

Holy smokes on every account!

I once saw the score to an arrangement of a Beethoven Symphony (5 I think) for modern instrumentation by Gustav Mahler. Musicians adapt, arrange, re-orchestrate other people's music all the time, so changing Dvorak 9 isn't a novel concept. "Appropriate" is a far more flexible term than "what a ...

Does this mean we should totally ignore the style that EVERY OTHER INSTRUMENT sets up prior in the entire piece?


Not even in the slightest, and it's ridiculous to suggest that is what I was implying. Every comment I have made so far has been about the reasoning behind our interpretation ...
