Just had my first blow through coventry variations, and i was surprised, and a little scared by the impossibly short time allowed for getting mutes in, also the length of time needed to "hold" the mute in order for it to be ready. Also having just done Resurgam with a mute between my legs for half the peice! I'm becoming v attached to my mute.
does anyone have any suggestions for successfully getting a mute in quickly, and making sure it stays in. I know in Over the Rainbow (horn solo) trombs get about a beat to be swapping between straights and cups and i sent at least one flying, not very good if you're the soloist.
also how long should realistically be allowed for putting a mute in.
and finally, i also notice we need Tromb Harmon mutes for 4 notes. We don't currently have any, is it fair to expect us to buy them? since i've been playing i've only needed one twice (this is the second time!)
