Four Horn Concertos And Concert Rondo

Horribly written. Page turns are totally awkward. Not worth purchasing

Excellent french horn music, top caliber for accomplished french horn players good high school level and up

As a freshman in college who is taking private horn lessons, I can tell you right off this collection is a must for all horn players expecting to study horn at some point in their musical career. Not only is it all 4 horn concertos + the rondo, the horn parts...

come printed in their own book, separate from the piano accompaniment, which is fantastic. The book quality is nice and the music is delightful and essential to all horn players! Well worth the $12 I spent. Why? because this isn't just a book for a one time use. If you treat this book right it will last your entire career, and the music will always be fun and exciting to play, plus these concertos are key in developing good technique and fundamentals. Bottom line, if you're a horn player who is serious about the instrument and the literature, invest in this book, you won't regret it!

There are so many aspects of a musical lifestyle that have to be experienced to learn for both parents and students. One such lesson is the importance of which edition of a piece to buy and which editions are most closely related to the composer's original intention. This edition...

is perhaps the most obscured and incorrect version of the Mozart horn concerti you could buy. Articulation and dynamics printed are placed there by the editor and was not what Mozart wrote in his original manuscript. Also, this edition is printed in F instead of the original D and E-flat keys. Save yourself the time and money and buy either the Henle Verlag editions or those edited by Eric Ruske. They are the closet and most accurate Mozart horn concerti available.

The Mozart horn concerti are great pieces, the most known and preformed works for solo horn, pieces that every horn player needs to, at some point learn. If you are a horn player, you need to get these concerti. -But a different edition. This version is a printing of Henry...

Kling's edition, with the horn part transposed to F. As a student of horn, one should be learning from the parts in the original (D and Eb) notation. This edition contains many articulations which are not in the style. The piano parts are difficult and unnecessarily awkward at times, and have several important orchestral lines omitted. The 1st movement of the 4th horn concerto contains a nearly impossible page turn. This edition is very common. Many people have this edition. Many teachers and players know about this edition, and have a certain distaste for it. I would not recommend this edition, it is bad. -but it is inexpensive, if you can forgive its flaws (and it has many) you will a lot of money.
