I don't know how much Brahms played the horn but there is a photo, which is on the cover of an LP from the WWV (which I have several available) with Brahms in the group - members of the WWV. (natural horns back then) Michael Papierniak

I know his father did, but the biography I've read doesn't seem to mention whether he did too. It seemed to make a lot of sense - I'm not generally a huge fan but I like his horn writing. Can anybody confirm or contradict? And to further parade my ignorance, was he the first person to write for horn/piano/violin? It's a perfect combination.
