When I've heard it in concerts, the first horn plays the obbligato part in the 3rd movement (Scherzo) and the first horn part for all the other movements. The third horn usually takes over the actual first horn part for the Scherzo.

Does the Principal play the obligato part and hand off duties to someone else for the rest of the piece? _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/pmjilka%40aol.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
