Horn Solos Book 1 – for French Horn and Piano

This book includes 19 pieces of music and offers a series of solos graded from the first beginnings up to intermediate level.

The early pieces are written or arranged so that beginners can play with piano from the first weeks, allowing a good sense of rhythm and intonation to develop. Most of the later pieces have been extracted from the established horn repertoire giving keen students the chance to try them in arrangements more friendly to a developing technique. Brief notes have been included at the back of the book to give a little background to each piece and some ideas for interpretation.
