What is a horn doing in front of the orchestra?

Description

from 6 years old
'Kick-off' concert for young people Usually, the horns sit at the back left of the orchestra, in pairs, sometimes even in fours. But a horn in front of the orchestra? Then it must be a soloist – there were very famous ones in the past, a Mr. Stich, who called himself Punto in Italian – which means the same – and a Joseph Leitgeb, with whom Mozart played many jokes. A unicorn belongs in the realm of fantasy, but a double horn, that exists. Well, curious now? We will explain everything about the horn to you, which is a very simple instrument, a long tube with a mouthpiece – but very difficult to play. You can also play on a garden hose – if you can. The folk form is probably the Alphorn. We will introduce you to Bela Bartok’s Romanian folk dances. Number 4 is also called Mountain Horn Song in the English-speaking world. You will like the Romanian folk dances, they always get faster at the end! Artur Kim Andrade - Horn
