The finest, most beautiful low horn playing I’ve ever heard. Remarkable. Thank you.

[@DeniseTryon]

Thank you! :)

wish i had come across this video earlier! i had to play this excerpt for a couple of college prescreens, especially challenging to get a nice low tone with not-so-great microphone.

This passage shows the incredible range of the horn.With a top class professional player the horn can have range close to 5 octaves.No other wind instrument comes near to it.

Umm... Euphonium

[@TheGoldenHorncall]

Also bassoon is very close

[@ryanpugh9200]

professional euphonium players have a bigger range.

Beautiful horn player!

[@Tacoparty012]

@denise tryon I would love a video masterclass on this 😭😭It’s part of my School of Music audition

[@a77kmr001]

Thank you for uploading this! really educating because I noticed that you're using the F horn in the middle register up to C. I've been using the B♭horn except for B,C but I'm going to try it out for the other notes.

[@DeniseTryon]

Good luck! I hope it works for you!

[@michaelshelley1289]

wow....that was great!!!

[@DeniseTryon]

Thanks!

[@michaelshelley1289]

@@DeniseTryon is your high range just as good? i'm sure it is..you can't play a horn this low this good without your upper register being good as well...would love to hear it!!

[@DeniseTryon]

@@michaelshelley1289 My high register is just as good. I prefer hanging out in the basement of the horn - it so FUN!

[@doreen5582]

awesome n Beautiful

[@Instrumentjesus]

I was able to hit a pedal f and I’m in 9th grade is that good?

[@DeniseTryon]

That's fantastic! Keep on going!!

[@Michael-Oh]

I'm convinced American horn players are the best.

[@zacebbflo]

Over Berlin Phil or LSO?

[@ffotograffyddgohebwyr8308]

The Vienna Philharmonic and the Dutch Concertgebouw orchestra have pretty good sections.I think that when it comes to any form of art who is best or the greatest is very subjective.It is not sport.

[@padin6604]

Sure?

[@duzoczasuazzaduzo1168]

Dresden Staatskapelle?

[@samuelpk3]

is this excerpt in old or new notation?

[@rupertdaniels2982]

Old notation, the first note of the excerpt is first g below middle c.
