I. Introduction. Adagio (where we see the full range that the low horn (second cor) can cover with the E-flat crook)
II. Allegro Moderato e sostenuto I
II. Thème Varié IV. Rondeau.

ModeratoThis piece is composed
specifically for the Cor-basse (low horn). Throughout the four movements, Dauprat demonstrates all the qualities of this playing technique. The Introduction shows the complete range of the instrument, finishing in the pedal register, lower than the cello. In the Thème Varié, we can hear an extremely virtuosic variation, full of fast arpeggios and ornaments. In the fourth variation, in minor, Dauprat uses the dark colours of the horn with melodies composed mainly of stopped notes. The Final Rondeau, in a hunting spirit reminiscent of the origins of the horn, displays again all the versatility of the Cor-basse, jumping throughout the range of the horn and executing virtuosic passages in the medium range of the instrument.This edition is part of our new ""Historical Treasures"" seriesa curated collection dedicated to rediscovering and revitalizing significant works from the past.
