Have a look on Help/Rules at the top for all manner of extras.

The area of most concern with tone in the upper register is Bb and C which are weak on my cor, though I'll go through my reeds to find one which will give these notes more substance. It's mainly when playing loud at the top and going against the nature of the beast which tends to be weak up top.

Maybe I ought to dig out the Donizetti which I haven't played for years - mainly as I'm not a fan of Italian opera and this is a typical show-off operatic style piece.

So now you've ventured into the world of film soundtracks, would you be interested in doing more studio and session work?

What I do like is that real musicians are still being used for soundtrack work and people are still writing soundtracks instead of using stock recordings.

Although older episodes of 'Doctor Who' did use early forms of sampling, people like Dudley Simpson wrote for real musicians and all manner of instruments (acoustic and electronic) for his incidental and soundtrack music.
