I think there is a suite by Telemann that uses 4 horns. At least one of the "a due cori" pieces by Handel has 2 horns in each "cori". And along with the "Hornsignal", I am almost certain there is another Haydn symphony with 4 horns. Someone help me here... And the Mozart Symphony 25 (?) in g minor ( the "other" g minor symphony).

The Huebler Concerto for four horns should fit any well set ambitious horn section from amateur to professional. And about the spelling: is it so difficult too remember that "umlaut" is to be spelled with an attached letter "e" only. So "Huebler" and not "Hubler", "Mueller" instead of "Muller". The Huebler is fun, challenging but not exhausting as the Schumann. It is also not exploring the extremes of horn playing, but it is received very, very well by the audience, special by the not much music educated audience; typical 19th century music. It is also not too difficult for the winds & strings of an amateur or student orchestra. Parts are available for a (modest) rent. Orchestral pieces: Rossini: Semiramide ouverture, some of these opera fantasies by Urbach: Remembering Bayreuth, Tschaikowsky Quell, Donizettis Sun Chart (Sonnenwagen). Try to get these. Quite challenging. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
