Solo List – French Horn
selected by John Stuckey, Galveston , TX
| Composer | Solo | Comments/Movements |
|---|---|---|
| Mozart | All 4 concertos | 1st or last movements, Concerto No. 1 has an easier Eb version, but stick with the original key of D. |
| Corelli | Sonata in F Major | movements 1,2,3 or 4 (Movements 1,2,3 more playable than 4) |
| Glazounov | Reveries | Very pretty and playable |
| Saint-Sean | Marceau de Concert | movements 1,2 or 2,3. 1,2 far better and more playable than 2,3 |
| Cooke | Rondo | Not bad and pretty playable |
| Bozza | En Irlande | Some nice moments and quite playable |
| Gliere | Intermezzo, Nocturno, or Romance | All nice and playable. His Concerto, however while great, is a BEAST! |
| R. Strauss | Concerto No 1 | movements 1 or 3, both great, but movement 1 may be more playable |
| Franz Strauss | Concerto, Op. 8 | movements 1 or 3, Movement 1 better and lots more popular |
| Franz Strauss | Nocturno | Absolutely beautiful. One of my favorites |
| Goedicke | Allegro from Concerto | Kind of challenging, but a very fun piece. Not many know of it, so it's not often played. Very successful at State Solo and Ensemble |
| Vitter | Hunters Moon | Some challenging moments, very fun to play |
| Mozart | Concert Rondo | Kind of fun and reachable |
| Mozart | Allegro from Quintet | Also kind of fun and reachable |
| Jacob | Concerto | movements 1 or 3, Great piece, but kind of tough. Not played a lot. |
