We are doing this excerpt for Day 9 of the #Fhornantined challenge and I had to come here for help! Thanks Denise!! For some strange reason I was trying to play the low F on 1-2-3 (No idea why).

Well, it would probably produce a nicer slur - but a REALLY small octave! Ha!

[@Garminrules]

Awesome sound Denise! Through the miracle of youtube I am just now learning about all different horn players....found you via sarah willis....love the sound of low horn.....thanks!

[@TiltonClan]

Wow! Was looking for something to help with this excerpt and this is wonderful! My daughter (16 years old) gets her first opportunity to play with our local Symphony next week and she's Horn 7 which also includes this excerpt. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You've been a big help.

[@DeniseTryon]

You are very welcome. How wonderful for your daughter. I hope she enjoys the experience!

It almost sounds like an bassoon.

Beautiful sound.

I really like the low register of the french horn. I would rather focus more on that than the high range.
