Horn

This volume is one of a series of guides, each devoted to a single orchestral instrument or a family of instruments. Yehudi Menuhin served as general editor when the series was launched in the 1970s.

Barry Tuckwell, an Australian-born horn player, writes about his own instrument. Each author follows a shared framework but brings a personal viewpoint, and because every contributor is both a gifted performer and a specialist, the guides gain their distinct character and credibility from that combination.

The book is intended for music students at any level, amateur players, music teachers, and anyone seriously engaged with music.
