Hi Manny,
How does your approach to Classical repertoire differ from that of Romantic or 20th/21st century music? Does it at all?
I find Haydn and Mozart and even Beethoven to be very nerve-racking from a performance standpoint. It seems like there is little or no room for error (there never is, but it's especially evident here). Also, I feel myself restrained to some degree, artistically speaking, when I perform music from this period. Whereas in Mahler, for example, I feel like there is room for interpretation, it seems like in pre-1800 literature the trumpet parts should, for the most part, just fit into the texture (except maybe Mozart Posthorn and that crazy Haydn 2nd trumpet solo). Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jimi
