Hello all, I am unfamiliar with this work.
I'm playing 2nd horn for this concert, and, oddly, I've been given two 2nd horn parts: one marked "horn in Do/C", and a second marked "horn in Fa/F". In my view, the second 2nd horn part marked "horn in Fa/F" goes quite high for a 2nd horn, especially at mm. 105-106, and again at mm. 115-117; the other part, marked "horn in Do/C" seems much more in the range of a 2nd horn part, unless the composer intended the horn part to be played "horn in Do/C" alto [up a perfect fifth], but this is not indicated on the part. I'm thinking that it would be more appropriate to play the "in Do/C" part transposed down a perfect fourth, and the composer intended it to be played this way. I'd be grateful if someone could clarify the performance requirement for this work. Sincerely, martin bender "All great things are decided not by machines or gadgets, but by willpower; whoever has it will finally prevail."
