Aid to interpretation,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Early Horn: A Practical Guide (Cambridge Handbooks to the Historical Performance of Music) (Hardcover)
This would be a very useful book for horn players involved in early music groups, or for anyone interested in interpreting scores more faithfully to their period. It also offers playing tips that would be good for any developing player, as well as some tips on choosing an instrument appropriate to contemporary and historical genres. There are also sections on the history and development of the horn that would be of interest to general readers.
