Publisher Desc.  Richard Strauss's First Horn Concerto, op. 11, perhaps the most well-known in the horn repertoire, was first penned when the composer was just a teenager. But with a horn virtuoso for a father, the then-young Richard Strauss displays in his concerto a remarkable mastery of the instrument's possibilities, with one foot in classic structure and the other in romantic lyricism. Here the work is arranged for solo horn and wind ensemble. Instrumentation: hn solo; 2fl+pic/2ob/3cl+bcl+cbcl/4sax/2bn+cbn; 2hn/3tp/3tb/eu/tba; timp; bass. Approx. 16 min.
