Concertino for horn (Weber)
- Concertino for horn (Weber)
The Concertino for Horn by Carl Maria von Weber is an extremely taxing work for the French horn. It requires, among other feats, that the player produce two notes at once, a technique known in brass playing as "multiphonics".
Although Weber wrote a number of works in the concertino form, the term "Weber concertino" is used almost exclusively to refer to this work.
The work is widely recorded and performed, appearing in the repertoire of well-known horn players including Hermann Baumann, Barry Tuckwell and David Pyatt.
It was originally written for the natural horn, and the authentic performance movement still sees it played on this instrument, notably by Anthony Halstead with the Hanover Band.
