Performance Notes
Yet another collection of short hunting calls, these pieces can be played in any key (the above range is for horns in F), on natural horns, or any other instrument with a similar harmonic series. There is little innovative in this work, but if one is after a variation on the usual, there is certainly something of interest in at least one of the six pieces.
