Strict adherence to tempo and breath marks. This will result in developing an
enhanced control of air and sound in general over a wide range of the horn. Martin Hackleman

 Masque
from "Romeo and Juliet" for solo horn
Listen to the original flute solo in Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Prokofiev/Martin Hackleman
Juliet” ballet to get a starting point and then play with the
J= 80 piece until there is a sense of whimsey and insouciance.

 Listen to the original trombone solo to get a sense of the power,
emotion, and verbosity that is expected then go big or go home.
Playing as written and then in the transposed version offer unique
challenges for the player across the break range that must be
addressed and overcome. We don’t want to bring this great piece
down to the level of the horns foibles just because we have not yet
learned to play in the low register.

Yes, you CAN play the entire solo cello lick. First play it at an easy tempo so that you can get a handle on it
and then put in on a the quick tempo that is correct to learn to play it by fixing quick mistakes instead of
ONLY layering slow playing. Try working from the top down instead of only from the bottom up. Each is a
unique set of performance skills. If a player ONLY plays from the slow up one is wasting time.
Feel the tidal wave of air and energy moving through each lick. Always take the breath as notated. It is notated on the slower side but this
demands more of the embouchure and air to accomplish that trombone sound you are going after. Play in Old AND New Notation.

Keep the tempo as marked. Again, the embouchure shifts while playing with air taking control of the sound wheel.
