It's an interesting horn player who can't transpose C, but can bang out
high Ds for an hour or so. Must be a student of Maynard Furgeson.

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.

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.)
Thanks in advance.
