The Horn Matters PDF Excerpt E-Book, Volume II Ericson P. 1
PREFACE
Following up on the original volume is volume II of The Horn Matters PDF
Excerpt E-Book. The content of volume I was driven primarily by surveys I
did of audition lists for high level undergrad and grad programs for horn, the
length overall being intentionally limited to a good one for reading as a PDF
on a iPad.
For volume II our focus is the 13 remaining public domain works that are
asked very frequently on professional auditions, the additional works chosen
based on a survey of ICSOM orchestra audition lists that I did a few years ago
(for the complete results see John Ericson, A New ICSOM Audition List
Survey, The Horn Call 33, no. 1 [October, 2002], 53-55).
The combination of the excerpts in volume I and II would be what I would
hope an undergrad horn performance major knows well by the time they
graduate, and certainly any grad student should know cold. You dont want to
be scratching around learning major excerpts for the first time right before an
audition!
Volulme III will follow soon, aimed at those additional excerpts that come up
less commonly on auditions but often enough to be highly worthy of study by
advanced horn students.
