Charles Decker Music Press #5770859. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.817157). These three challenging concert etudes showcase multiple skills and styles for ambitious advanced hornists seeking to expand their musical horizons. Focusing thematically on the wider intervals of fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths and ninths, the studies incorporate a variety of well-known and contemporary horn techniques. These concert etudes, performed either singly or as a set of three, offer an excellent non-accompanied variation to any recital. Performers are encouraged to approach these etudes as more than just technical exercises, and use the various markings as guidelines with flexibility to have the freedom to embrace the pauses, the accelerandi, the crescendi and the thematic repetitions to create engaging musical performances.  The audio file is an actual solo horn performance and not a computer playback of score.See also Richard Decker arrangement for horn ensemble with Charles Decker Music Press at Sheet Music Plus and this link to Cherry Classics Music to see Richard Decker arrangements of Cherubini’s Sonata in F for Solo Horn and Wind Ensemble and Coleridge-Taylor’s Sea Drift for Trombone Octet.See 50+ homogeneous brass editions for trumpet, horn and trombone ensembles and 75+ mixed brass ensemble publications with Charles Decker Music Press at Sheet Music Plus for inexperienced to advanced musicians with music ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary new works for trios, quartets, quintets, brass choir and brass band.
