Bach, J.S/arr. Yancich: Cello Suites
This edition faithfully transcribes the manuscript copy made by Anna Magdalena (Bach's second wife) and allows the interpreter to express his own choice of articulation, phrasing, and pulsative accentuation. The transcription of the Suites encompasses the entire range of the French horn. These Suites offer an extensive opportunity to improvise with the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and the application of tone quality and dynamics. Trumpet colleagues have endorsed the Bach transcriptions as an ideal challenge for the trumpet as well, with occasional "octave jumps" to accommodate the trumpet range. The Bach Suites are a lifelong challenge both as studies and concert pieces.

Reinhardt, B: Music for Solo Horn
Reinhardt has cast two of the three movements in classical forms, the opening movement being kind of a miniature sonatina condensed to the utmost and the third movement taking the form of a little March; the central peice is a free recitative in the vein of a liturgical cantillation
Composed in 1965, revised 1981.

Rossini, G/arr Baumann, H: Le Rendez-vous de Chasse
"Here finally is the Rendez-vous de Chasse which I used as an encore piece. This piece developed through many years and performances to its present shape and is accepted by the audience with great pleasure. Horn players know it as a horn quartet in D, which is already a transcription. The original is entitled Grande Fanfare par Rossini written for orchestra and four solo horns.
My arrangement is a short brilliant peice for horn solo with two versions existing: one for valved horn and one for natural horn. The cadenza surprises the listener with stopped passages and the use of double stops which the legendary Giovanni Punto liked to play to show off in his cadenzas. Hemann Baumann"

Turner, K: Characters
Scales, arpeggios, slurs, attacks, interval skips, extreme high and low register playing, and extreme loud and soft dynamics are the usual routine elements of most professional hornists' warmups. Indeed, certain schools teach a very rigorous exercising of these elements, much the same way as an athlete would maintain a vigorous workout routine every day. CHARACTERS for Solo French Horn began as an etude, a search for the most comprehensive warmup etude possible, an etude that would in a short amount of time cover the entire spectrum of modern French Horn playing.
As is typical of my own particular warmup routine, I conceived of the opening and closing as a simple melody. This was to establish the general purpose of the horn -- to make music. I then assembled a collection of exercises, each representing a different facet of my daily routine. The result, a lengthy etude of short segmented exercises, resembled the final version only slightly. Slowly, with each playing and with natural editing, a unifying of the routine took place. What appeared was an array of extreme styles and personalities, each representing a different aspect of the Horn's multi-personalitied capabilities.
The first public hearing of the work was as an encore to a solo recital that I gave in New York. It  was at this performance that the piece received the description as "Characters" by the citric; thus the title CHARACTERS for Solo French Horn.
The piece should be presented as a sort of "Pictures at an Exhibition" for solo horn. Although the performer has the liberty to play the piece freely, most sections should maintain a clear pulse. Also, certain more difficult passages have possible alternatives indicated.

Valero Castell's, A: Les Trois Roses de Cimetière de Zaro (A.V.18)
The Three Roses of Zaro Churchyard
"'Zalacain el aventurero' (Zalacain the adventurer) is the third novel of the trilogy 'Terre Basque' by the great Spanish writer Don Pio Baroja. It deals with the amourous adventures and the lucky life of Martin Zalacain de Urbia....When he died...he was buried in the churchyard of Zaro. Sometime later, three old women in their mourning clothes come to pray on the tomb and each one puts down on the tombstone a rose of a different colour. The title of the last chapter gives its name to the composition" In four movements.

Widmann, J: Air
Commissioned for the 54th ARD International Competition 2005
"....The piece for horn Air is no less virtuosic in its technical playing characteristics, but the work is as a whole oriented towards a simple vocal gesture - Air in both its literal meaning and as the established melodic term. The tonal material utilised in the work is made up of a number of natural harmonic series, partially overlapping each other. Through this microtonal cosmos and the constant fluctuation between open and stopped naotes, a natural work on the themes of proximity and distance is created"
