Are there any 18th Century horn specialists on this list?
I have an autograph manuscript of a combined choral/orchestral work from 18th Century Italy. The piece is in D major and the two horn parts are written in alto clef. There are two sharps written in for the horns, so I will assume these are horns in C. For the first horn, the first note (in alto clef) is F#, written on fourth space. For the second horn, the first note is D (in alto clef), written on the third space. When played as written, will these sound as F# and D right above middle C, or will they sound in a different octave? Will a trained modern horn player understand how to play this, or should I re- notate these two horn parts in treble clef?
Thanks for your wisdom.
