Dan, is that true for the Mozart Divertimenti as well, that they should
not be played on basset horns? The group sounds very good. I have never
heard a basset horn before, except an A basset horn (I think) like the
one David Schifrin used to record K-622. I had no idea that they sounded
so wonderful in duos and trios. This group, The New World Basset Horn
Trio, with basset horn players Lisa Klevit, Erich Hoeprich & William
McColl. I would be curious to hear if anybody else enjoys this group.
Now that I know they shouldn't be playing this music, I feel very badly
for them that they went out and spent so much money on their basset
horns. I hope that there is plenty of "musically correct" music to play
on an F basset horn, because I think that is the one I would want for
myself, if I can afford one someday. ANNIE
