French Horn Duet Horn - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1445963 Composed by Johannes Brahms. Arranged by Thomas Jostlein. 19th Century,Romantic Period. Score. 55 pages. Gordon Cherry #1025785. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1445963). Brahms Symphony No. 4 in E minor for Two Horns has been lovingly arranged by Thomas Jostlein. This great work has never been arranged for such a small group before but Mr. Jostlein explains it this way:This arrangement of the Brahms Symphony No. 4 , began with my arranging the third movement of Symphony No. 3, completed in 1996 as a gift to my wife, Tricia, also a horn player. I decided to arrange the other movements, with Gordon Cherry's helpful encouragement. Now I have completed Symphony No. 3, also for two horns.While a reduction of such a large orchestral work for a pair of horns may seem trivial or silly, it works beautifully, revealing Brahms' masterful harmonic, melodic, contrapuntal, and tone-color artistry. It is hoped that horn players use this arrangement as a means of discovering these great qualities of Brahms, rather than as a performance piece. Have fun!
