When I was an undergraduate hornist in the Carleton College orchestra, one of the things the conductor kept telling me was that I needed to listen to the other parts more carefully to hear how my part fit in with everything else. But I never understood what he meant until I began following scores and watching the transitions of different parts through the orchestra. Now, when I play 2nd horn in a performance of Mozart's 23rd piano concerto on January 21st (with the Blyth Festival Orchestra), I can have my own copy of the conductor's score to study and work from.
Also, I really do enjoy the music of Mozart, and I'm looking forward to studying these scores in greater detail. Please note that the scores are protected under copyright and are to be used only under the fair trade exemption.
