Horn in D sounds a major 7th lower than written, so c'' sounds d'. D-alto parts (if there were any such things) would probably be considered cruel as well as unusual for F-horn players. Are you up for Wagner's horns in d-flat next? ajr "Dean M. Estabrook" wrote: > Ok, Horn players

In treble clef, Horns in D are written up a minor 7th from concert pitch. So, a written C in the 3rd space sounds as the D above middle C. In bass clef, the notes are written a step below sounding pitch. So, a C on the first ledger line above the bass clef staff (middle C), will sound as the D one
