Listers, correct me if I'm wrong, but if Mozart wrote something in Bb or C with trumpets AND horns, the horns would be basso. Horns in Bb or C alto would place them in the same range as the trumpets. Let the trumpets play the high notes ... that's their job. Bill
John Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Cousins, I've just been handed a part to Mozart's Sonata in C, KV 329 (317a), for 2 violins, 'cello, bass, 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, tymps, and organ, for a gig in a couple weeks. It is the second horn part, and it has been transposed to horn in F. The original part clearly must be for horn in C. The question is: alto or basso? The part has been transposed alto, taking the second horn up to high B several times (first horn has a corresponding number of high Ds), and there are many high As. Can this be correct? (I don't have access to a score.)
