Reposted from @norman_parkinson Dennis Brain (1921-1957) was photographed by Norman Parkinson for the February 1953 issue of British Vogue’s story on British orchestral soloists. • Dennis Brain was a British virtuoso horn player, credited for popularising the horn as a solo classical instrument in post-war Britain. Before playing in orchestras from the late 1930s, Brain began his solo career in February 1944 when he recorded his version of Beethoven’s Horn Sonata. By 1945 Brain was the most popular horn player in England, and later became the principal horn player for the Philharmonia and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. • #normanparkinson #iconicimages #dennisbrain #britishvogue #1950sphotography #1940smusicians #1950smusicians #beethoven #philharmonia #royalphilharmonicorchestra #portraitphotography #blackandwhitephotography #eugenelacroix1 @eugenelacroix1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsmp13nzgd/?igshid=78khpjiuu81m

Occasionally, she finds herself humming the pieces she once played. Usually, she doesn’t notice it, and it passes without thought. But one night (so late it’s almost early) nearly ten years after she chose medicine over music (”You have a full ride if you go into medicine, dear.”), she’s humming Quantz as she’s amputating a young boy’s arm (it’s been mangled beyond repair, and there isn’t much bone left to salvage in his right hand and upper arm. She remembers the parents horrified looks when hear; they say something a piano and she distinctly tries not cry) and wonders at where she’s ended up. She feels like maybe it’s not  her right to ever try flute again, after taking this boy’s music away.
