A Schlossberg Session for Flexibility

Coming off of last week, my sharing of sessions continues. I don’t do “routines” I have lots of sessions I like, etc. As well, when I come back to these sessions they may not be exact I may expand on things, swap thing out, etc. Up next is based around Schlossberg, another one of my favourites.

Usual things, metronomes, tuners, etc.

The Session

  • Clarke no.2 - starting on F sharp and expanding outwards (same approach as in the Arbans Session)

  • Schlossberg no.6 - Expand the range down to Low C, and reverse the hair pins so it Cresc - Dim

  • Schlossberg 11 and 11a

For the next chunk use natural harmonics

  • Schlossberg no.31

  • Schlossberg no.14

  • Schlossberg no.21

  • Schlossberg no.23 - Use the B horn for the top note ex. written A On T0 in ms.1. This way we stay on the harmonic series and throw the valve for 1 note)

  • Schlossberg no.25 - Same as no.23 for top notes. Start these below the staff and extend the pattern e-c-e, g-e-g, c-g-c, e-c-e, g-e-g, a-g-e-c-g-e-c-g-c.. etc through the valves.

Go back to normal fingerings.

  • Schlossberg no.45

  • Schlossberg no.52 - Slur in 2 measure groups all Forte.

  • Schlossberg no.71 or 72 pick either A or B

  • Schlossberg no.76

  • Then some etudes.

Happy horning!
