Adagio and Allegro is one of the first works of major importance written for the valve horn. The original title was Romance and Allegro and it was composed during the first few months of 1849, a period when Schumann also composed solo works for oboe and piano, clarinet and piano, as well as the Konzertstucke for four horns and orchestra.

As with Schumann's “Concert Piece for four Horns” Op. 86 (HN 1138) Saint-Saëns' “Morceau de Concert” was also composed with the idea of exploiting the technical possibilities of the new valve-horn mechanism. In this case, the French horn player Henri Chaussier provided the impulse. He had developed a novel “Cor omnitonique” and wanted to demonstrate the merits of his instrument with Saint-Saëns' composition. Chaussier's invention did not gain acceptance amongst horn players - although the “Morceau de Concert” did! From today's standpoint the popular work with one movement is not overly demanding technically; in addition, Saint-Saëns himself suggested two abridgements to simplify the piece, meaning that even advanced pupils can venture to play it.

Paul Dukas wrote his Villanelle as a demanding exam piece for the horn class of the Paris Conservatoire in 1906. The title, referencing a cheerful traditional vocal genre that originated in 16th century Italy, already shows that it is by no means a dry etude. Alongside the technical challenges (stopped notes, fast scales, playing without valves using natural horn techniques), the piece is successful because of its refreshing melodies, for which reason the Villanelle is still one of the most popular performance pieces for the horn. For our Urtext edition we consulted the autograph as well as the first edition that was originally for horn and piano: the later version with orchestral accompaniment does not stem from the composer.

A composer and conductor of genius, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) left us several operas, ballets, large-scale symphonic and choral works, but his worldwide reputation is derived mainly from his many chamber works, written for various instrumental formations with a preference for wind instruments. En forêt (1941), evoking a hunting party in the forest, was written for an entrance exam for the Conservatoire de Paris; this is why it calls for all kinds of technical challenges: it uses the entire range of the instrument, and features trills, the use of the mute, stopped sounds, glissandi, as well as, naturally, passages in fast tempos that require a high level of virtuosity. Introduction and notes on interpretation in French and English by the hornist Daniel Catalanotti. - New engraving.

Henrik Wiese has created a great stir in recent years with his many Mozart editions for Henle. He adheres strictly to Mozart's autograph score, allowing only a few sporadic editorial additions and discussing all important questions regarding dating and sources in his preface. As with the horn concertos published to date, this volume also includes an extra horn part in F. The piano reduction by Jan Philip Schulze pays heed to the demands of playability while producing a full-voiced piano texture appropriate to the horn.

Oddly, Mozart wrote out the score of his most famous horn concerto not only in black ink but also in red, green, and blue. Whether he meant this as a genial prank or had higher aspirations in mind will remain an eternal mystery. Whatever the case, Henle's piano reduction takes Mozart at his word and prints the enclosed urtext horn part in exactly the same colors as are found in the autograph score. Perhaps the multi--colored publication will inspire horn players to create new interpretations of this popular concerto.
