How do you guys deal with playing a recital with more than one horn?
I am considering doing a recital (it has been quite a while...), and would like to use a CC, and an F, and possibly an Eb. My concern is that the recital will be held at a library, without a stage per se, so there is no place to dissapear to, in between pieces.
I am concerned about making the switch between horns in the recital. Is blowing a few notes on the new horn, to get the feel before playing the music, a "faux pas"? I find switching horns in orchestra easier, because I don't feel the audience staring, while I adjust.
Just looking for some thoughts....
