Phantasia

The Romanze from Mozart's Horn Concerto in E flat, K 447, is known and loved by all. And it doesn't require a great master to make it 'sound'.The lyrical solo part is interwoven with orchestral episodes ranging from lively to dramatic, and this has long motivated the author to transform it into a technically daring and musically pleasing Fantasia for horn solo.With an informed knowledge of appoggiaturas and ornaments for stylistically authentic play, the hornist can concentrate on developing the minute details of this challenging score. Then both performer and audience will experience the sense of adventurous fun that infuses this Fantasia.
