My goodness, a mature composer as a 50 years old Dukas is by no means better than a 16 year old Strauss - see the horn concerto opwhich is - even a favourite for us - a cheap infusion of Brahms, sorry, while "Villanelle" is a masterpiece, sorry. And <Strauss has only written a handful of pieces for the horn ?> , the op.17, the op.11 & the second concerto, plus Capriccio, Josephslegende, Heldenleben, Till, Don Juan, Aus Italien, Don Quixote, Alpine Symphony, Sinfonia domestica, Frau ohne Schatten, Salome, Elektra, Rosenkavalier, Ariadne, Helena in Egypt, Schweigsame Frau - all highlights & audition pieces for all horns ....... If these two etudes would be worth publishing, I had got it published as I have a very good connection to the Strauss family, but they do not want them being published. Basta ! I have to respect that. ============================================================ =================================================

Strauss has written only a handful of pieces for the horn, why are these veiled? Are they as horrid as the aforementioned Brahms etudes? Those are in print right? It seems there should be more of a push for these to see the light of day, its Strauss by God. Isn't Strauss at the age of 16 still better than Dukas at 50 or Hamilton Harty at 75? I think more of us hornplayers should be the judge of what is "average" Thanks for the help, your site is a treasure!
