I want to get some music for my friend, but I don’t know his taste in music. I just know that he played french horn in high school, and told me he still always spots that sound in music.
Valveless orchestral horns from the late 18th and early 19th century were generally able to equip all crooks from C alto down to B flat basso, but there are a few examples of higher and lower horn crooks (Mozart’s 19th symphony called for high Eb horns, and supposedly there are a few A basso horn parts in existence.) Is there any evidence as to what the absolute highest and lowest natural horn crooks EVER called for in classical music are?
I need to find the sheet music for the back up horn section for a lot of blues songs. More specifically, the trumpet parts. I don’t need fake books or lead sheets.
