First of all, let me second Hans' admonishment to the young woman preparing a recital to be a bit more discerning in her use of the word "song". It's just a few steps down that slippery slope to where we are calling everything "tunes" and no one can spell "embouchure" or "Farkas" (sorry, I just had to bring that up again).
What I really wanted to say was look for a copy of Strauss's humorous set of songs (note the usage of the term) based on the music publishing business, Kraemerspiegel, op. 66 (1918). One of the songs, I don't recall which, has an extended piano interlude which is the source material for the Capriccio horn solo. One can easily extract the horn line from this and have a serviceable (and extremely beautiful) work to play. Strauss must have had great affection for this piece to have recalled it nearly three decades later to orchestrate it in its new context. I think I have even heard a horn recital recording that used this as a basis for a horn and piano selection, though I doubt it was ever legally published in this form. To John Schreckengost who was also looking for piano trio plus horn music, I believe there is a piece by Franz Doppler, though it may require a flute (like just about everything else he ever wrote) and there are the Fibich Quintet and Dohnanyi Sextet that require one or two assisting artists but are big-time romantic works that don't get played all that often (and some people may have even possibly heard of good ol' Zdenek and Erno). Also try looking in the various horn literature bibliographies available. You probably can get them either at your university's library or use them to get them through ILL. Good luck, Peter Hirsch _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
