C clef on the second line from the bottom equals horn in F. Add one flat.
Bass clef octave up equals horn in E (add 4 sharps) or horn in Eb (add 3 flats).
Alto clef equals horn in D (add 2 sharps) or horn in Db (add 5 flats).
Treble clef 8bassa equals horn in C.
Tenor clef equals horn in B natural (add 5 sharps - Brahms calls this Horn in
tiefes H or something the like). Or it equals horn in Bb basso (ad 2 flats).
Klaus, who will rather transpose than read C clefs
