Haley Hoops performs Variation 7 and Variation 8 from Don Quixote

Richard Strauss' Don Quixote has a great second horn part! The excerpts from Variation 7 and Variation 8 are amongst some of the most popular low horn excerpts asked at auditions for utility horn, second horn and fourth horn. I performed Variation 7 and 8 on my Rauch double horn with it's large bore valves. Some practice tips are included at the end.

I'm not planning on ever playing professionally but I am taking a lesson every once in a while, just because I love the horn and want to play better. Your videos are a great supplement to my great teacher! Thank you for making them! You're introducing me to music that I haven't heard also.

I'm also a fan of your channel because I'm from Michigan originally. 😊
