Hi Dan,

Yes I'm aware of the bass part in A, and will be cheating by providing a
transposition, unless Forest and Walter Grabner show up! Actually I have
played it in a workshop in England; it is difficult, *especially* for the
horns. But I think you are mistaken about the oboe/basset duet in the slow
movement - that is in the Happy Workshop, which in fact I found to be a
harder piece on the basset horn.

>Keith, the Invalid's Workshop is a particularly difficult piece, much more
so than the Happy Workshop. Be aware that the bass clarinet part is in A
and in the bass clef, so you will need someone who can deal with that
transposition. The slow movement of the work has a complicated duet for
oboe and basset horn.

>As a work, the Invalid's Workshop is best enjoyed by the performers, who
marvel at the work's intricacies, and deservedly so. Audiences find it
off-putting.

I do agree. This is for US!

>If I am free, I may come just to listen to the final performance. It is a
work worth the trip.

That would be great. We'll try not to put you off!

Keith

>> Hallo all,
>>
>> I'm writing to draw your attention to the long weekend workshop that we
>> are
>> running in Santa Fe over the Presidents' Day weekend in February (14 - 16
>> inclusive), with a rare opportunity to work on and play the Strauss
>> Invalid
>> Workshop (Sonatine No. 1 in F). Most of the parts are filled now but we
>> still need a bass clarinet (alternatively basset horn, as I could swap to
>> bass). It's one of the great wind works to play. The coaches are very
>> eminent, Dennis Godburn of the Orpheus orchestra and many other high
>> level
>> ensembles, and Tom O'Connor of Santa Fe Pro Musica. Kammermusik Workshops
>> has been running woodwind chamber music workshops for twelve years, and
>> when
>> he last coached for us, Dennis remarked that 'Kammermusik is the Swiss
>> Train
>> of music workshops!'. And Sunrise Springs resort in Santa Fe, NM is a
>> beautiful environment.
>>
>> If you are interested, please see the further details and registration on
>> the web site, www.kammermusikworkshops.org, or feel free to email me any
>> questions.
