This week we have one fairly long reading that, with the linked readings, covers a lot of ground!
The Early Valved HornThe Konzertstuck and more
In addition also check out the reading in the descant and triple horn E-Book on the Schumann Konzertstuck, as we will also discuss this work and the Adagio and Allegro in class. This additional reading is worth skimming as well:
In that article I note
It is a work that has long interested me; I featured it in my dissertation and also in a later article, “Crooks and the 19th-Century Horn,” The Horn Call 30, no. 1 (November, 1999), this article also being winner of the 2000 Harold Meek Memorial Award of the International Horn Society. (That article content is not easily accessed online at this time and I should go back and convert some of that text into new articles for Horn Matters).
I love this topic and still should go back and work over the Schumann text for Horn Matters. I could easily spend an entire semester on just the early valved horn. And we will stick with the early valved horn next week, with a focus on the late 19th century.
Continue in Horn Repertoire Course
This is week 10 of a fourteen week course in horn repertoire, the second semester of a broad overview of horn repertoire, performance, and pedagogy. The introductory article is here, and the series is presented for the educational purposes of our readers.
