A great sheet music source is up & running again - it is IMSLP,
International Music Score Library Project; the main page is here:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page
Aside from a decent collection of works involving horn - e.g., Mozart
concerti, Kopprasch etudes (including the monstrous high-horn Op.5),
there is a lot of other free downloadable stuff. That would include
some of the violin etudes that I have mentioned here from time to time.
You can get the first 30 of the 60 etudes in Op.45 of Franz Wohlfahrt -
they are very much like the Kopprasch etudes, with lots of melodic fun
and some hornistic problems to overcome. They generally ride too high
to be played as is, but transposing to C tames them and enables you to
play along with the violinists. The book is here:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Sixty_Studies_for_the_Violin%2C_Op._45_(Wohlfahrt%2C_Franz)
If you have enjoyed and learned from Kopprasch for 10 or 40 years
already, treat yourself to a dose of the real thing.
