French Horn |
Prints from ALL POSTERS.COM
The French Horn is renowned as the most difficult instrument to play, the left hand operating the keys and the right hand being used to sharpen and flatten the harmonics. Most French Horns played nowdays are wider bore German Horns but the instrument evolved from the cor de chasse of the French hunt. The problem with early horns was than without hand-stopping they could play only one set of harmonics. The Dresden instrument maker Johann Werner introduced the slide crook which when fitted to the horn permitted it to play in all keys. Problem was the player had to carry a full set of up to 13 crooks ! Composers of this period allowed time for the players to change crooks when the key changed. The 1815 introduction of the valve revolutionized horn playing, now only 2 extra crooks were needed. In 1898 Fritz Krupse of Erfurt designed a double horn pitched in F and Bb and the player chooses the pitch by depressing an extra valve. This instrument was also much safer to play
