"I'm definitely looking forward to Beethoven's 9th Symphony in January.
As the RPO's 4th Horn, I don't get the chance to play very many solos--but in the 3rd movement of his 9th symphony, Beethoven wrote a solo for the 4th Horn player in his orchestra that is an entire page long. It's one of the most challenging and rewarding pieces in the repertoire."
--Stephen Laifer, Fourth Horn
