HR15: Sonata for Piano and Horn in F major Op. 17 by
Ludwig
van Beethoven edited by Armin Raab.
Henle, 1994, SS, 24 + 6 pages. These were written for a concert in 1800
by Giovanni Punto. Includes a
forward in German, English and French and alternate parts for cello. Special price. The regular price is
$20.95. |
||
G229: Sonata "No. 4" for
Oboe, Horn in F and Harpsichord by Claude Debussy
reconstructed and
arranged by Kenneth Cooper.
International Music Co., 2011, SS, includes harpsichord score and all
parts. Debussy's original plans (conceived in 1915) to write for this
unusual combination were cut short by his death in 1918. Musicologist
and harpsichordist Kenneth Cooper reimagines what Debussy might have
written using three Debussy pieces; 1. Prélude - La Boîte
à Joujoux (The Toy Box), 2. Scherzando - Étude pour les
notes répétées, and 3. Mouvement - Images I.
Preface includes 6 pages of background information. College level. |
||
HR16: Rêverie Op. 24 for
Horn and Piano by Alexander Glasunow (Glazunov) edited by Dominik
Rahmer.
Henle, 2015, SS, 3 + 1 pages. As a composer, Alexander Glazunov was as
at home in the late Romantic symphony as he was in chamber music forms.
His shorter solo pieces impress on account of their enchanting melodies
and their attention to detail, which is also true of the Rêverie for
horn and piano. Glazunov was himself a good horn player and played in
several orchestras as a young student. It was at this time that
Glazunov composed this highly romantic work in which he showed off the
melodious qualities of this instrument to their best advantage. It is
an effective recital piece, even for advanced pupils, and is being
published for the first time as an Urtext edition; alongside the first
edition Henle also consulted Glazunov's autograph in the National
Library of Russia in St Petersburg for the first time. Includes a
forward in German, English and French and notes on the editing in
German and English. Here is an
audio recording. Introductory
price. The regular price is
$11.95. (Except other items with free shipping.) |
||
V068: Quatre Chants Vénitiens for Voice, Tenor
Saxophone (or Bass Clarinet, Bassoon or Horn) and Piano by Alain
Margoni. Editions Combre, 2005, SS, includes piano score with vocal
part and individual instrumental parts. Alain Margoni (1934-) is a
French composer, conductor and music educator. The four songs are I.
Chant d'Amour, II. Chant de Prison, III. Chant d'espérance, and IV.
Chant sur l'eau. This is intended for a female vocal performer. The
range is from the A below middle C to the G just above the staff.
College level. Here
is an audio recording of the first song with tenor saxophone (the other
songs are also available). Click on the cover
page to view a sample page which is also from the first song. |
||
V047: Variazioni
concertanti on motives from La Sonnambula by
Bellini for Soprano, Clarinet (Horn or Violoncello) and
Piano
by Otto Nicolai. Verlag Dohr Köln, SS, 2000, includes two copies
of score with vocal, piano, and instrumental part; and parts for
clarinet (in B-flat), horn, and cello. This was apparently written with
the horn as the primary instrument (but the score has the clarinet part
in C). It begins with a typical florid introduction by the
instrumentalist and piano, followed by an Allegro featuring the
vocalist, and three variations (the vocalist is tacit on the first).
This is a college level work for the instrumentalists and has a very
challenging vocal part. |
||
HR17: Morceau de Concert in F minor Op. 94 for
Horn and Piano by Camille Saint-Saëns edited by Dominik Rahmer.
Henle, 2016, SS, 11 + 4 pages. As with Schumann's Concert Piece for
four Horns Op. 86 Saint-Saëns' Morceau de Concert was also composed
with the idea of exploiting the technical possibilities of the new
valve-horn mechanism. In this case, the French horn player Henri
Chaussier provided the impulse. He had developed a novel “Cor
omnitonique” and wanted to demonstrate the merits of his instrument
with Saint-Saëns' composition. Chaussier's invention did not gain
acceptance amongst horn players - although the Morceau de Concert did!
From today's standpoint this popular work with one movement (but three
sections) is not
overly demanding technically; in addition, Saint-Saëns himself
suggested two abridgments to simplify the piece. Includes a
forward in German, English and French and notes on the editing in
German and English. Here is a
video of a performance. Introductory
price. The regular price is
$15.95. |
||
G090: Sonic Portals Trio for Oboe, Horn & Piano by Simon A. Sargon. 2004, SB. Commissioned by the Texas Music Teacher's Association. In four movements: The first, Molto tranquillo, begins with an arching horn melody that sets the mood of the piece. The second movement is light and airy with a pastoral feeling in its central part. The third movement starts serenely but dissolves into an agitated and dissonant middle section, then builds to a climax, followed by a quite reassuring song. Playful and humorous, the last movement ends in a burst of high spirits. Despite the commissioning source this a college level work that only the very best high school students could perform. One copy left at this price. When it is sold the price will be $39.95. | ||
HR08: Vermeer Portraits for Horn and Piano by Simon A. Sargon. 2002, SB, 18 + 7 pages. Dedicated to Marcia Spence, Professor of Horn at the University of Missouri. This piece was inspired by the timeless beauty of the paintings of the 17th century Dutch master Jan Vermeer. In each movement the composer has tried to utilize the evocative sonorities of the horn to create a musical counterpart to the feelings generated by the portraits. The paintings portrayed are "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha," "Allegory of Faith," " The Guitar Player," " Woman with a Balance," "The Astronomer," and "The Soldier and the Laughing Girl." | ||
HR09: The Weeping Shofar
for Horn and Piano by
Simon A. Sargon. 1998, SB, 10 + 6 pages. This piece was inspired by the
Holocaust as a result of a trip by the composer to Eastern Europe. The
Shofar is the ram's horn which is part of Jewish ritual and worship.
Throughout this piece the horn conjures up the sound of the Shofar. It
refers to the traditional calls, but beyond that serves as an elegiac
voice of mourning. The horn also uses some extended techniques to evoke
the choked off cries and sobs of the Holocaust's victims. |
||
HR014: Romance
for Horn and
Piano
by Alexander Scriabin (Skrjabin). Henle, 2013, SS, 2 + 1 pages of
music plus notes. Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) was a Russian composer
and pianist. Scriabin is mainly known for his mystic-visionary piano
works today; but his Romance for horn, which he composed at a young age
(possibly in 1894), is also a charming chamber music work. The
technically not very demanding horn part with its opulent piano
accompaniment means that it is a very effective recital piece, even for
young students. As the work was not published during the composer's
lifetime, the autograph is the sole source for our edition. It was
prepared in collaboration with the Moscow Scriabin scholar Valentina
Rubcova. Includes a Preface in German, English and French and comments
on the editing in German and English.
(Except other items with free shipping.) |
||
G233: Quartet in E-flat major Op. 8/2
for Oboe,
Horn, Viola and
Violoncello
by Carl Stamitz edited by Bernhard Päuler. Amadeus Verlag, 2009, SS,
includes parts and score. The horn part is in F. This is one of six
quartets that make up Op. 8. The melody may be played on a C clarinet
or flute instead of the oboe. It is in three movements: Allegro,
Andante, and Rondeau (Allegretto). This work is appropriate for
advanced high school, early college, or adult amateurs. |
||
HR018: Concertino Op. 45 for Horn and Piano (PR) by Carl Maria von Weber edited by Doninik Rahner, Piano Reduction by Johannes Umbreit. Henle, 2018, SS, 21 + 6 + 6 pages. Includes horn parts in E and F. The horn is surely the most “romantic” of instruments, and it is a well-known fact that it plays a prominent role in Weber's oeuvre. Der Freischütz and Oberon would be unthinkable without their horn calls, whether to signify yearning or the clarion call of the hunt. But Weber did more than give the instrument important solo parts in his operas; he also wrote a virtuoso concert piece that to this day is regarded as one of the most difficult in the whole horn repertoire - not least because the soloist has to play three-part chords (!) in the cadenza. This Henle Urtext edition is based on the autograph, the engraver's copy (checked by Weber himself) and the first edition, and so offers the best possible musical text for those wishing to learn this highly effective virtuoso piece. The Preface also for the first time provides biographical details of Sebastian Rauch, the Munich horn player who commissioned this Concertino. Special price. The regular price is $19.95. | ||
Note: See our woodwind music page for woodwind quintet and ensemble music and our woodwind page for woodwing literature reference books that include horn. |

TR12: Pezzo Pazzo for
Trumpet in C and Piano
by Astrid Spitznagel. Musikverlag Alexander Mayer, 2005, SS, 18 + 8
pages. Astrid Spitznagel has been a piano accompanist for trumpet and
horn students at the University of Musik and performing Arts in Vienna,
Austria for approximately 20 years, so she is very well acquainted with
the technical possibilities on these instruments. She is not only an
accomplished pianist, but she also earned a diploma for flute. In her
composition Pezzo Pazzo for Trumpet in C and Piano, she has combined a
whirlwind of notes into a brilliant, dynamic new combination. Chen
Guang, an outstanding student from China, premiered the work in Vienna
in June 2005 in his graduation program. Astrid has dedicated Pezzo
Pazzo to him. This is a challenging work for ambitious trumpeters,
who are looking for an energy packed 'showpiece' in the very best sense
of the word. You can view pages of the score here. |
