Mozart Horn Concerto No 4, Mvnt 1 Steve Park - Horn

This is perhaps the most challenging of the Mozart horn concertos. It requires good technique, endurance, and upper register. The background pictures were taken by my friend and neighbor Dan Bauer. I got this accompaniment from www.soloconcertos.com. If you want it, you will need to download it from them. Subscribe! I will be adding more solos on a regular basis. I teach horn at a University and my goal is to create a video library of some of the best horn solos for my students and others. Also let me know if there is something you would like me to record.

I'm so happy to see you back! What happened to your 8D of past videos? Where did you actually record? Your home? A church? At school? In any case, the world is a better place with you in it and here on you tube.  Welcome back!

[ohsteacher]

@hornman28d I do all my recording in my music room at home. In February I bought a Ricco Kuhn 293X french horn. It is very different from my Conn 8D.

[frenchhornheroe]

is this your own cadenza or someone else's???? I plan on learning this (hopefully) this year for maybe a competition and will need to write a cadenza eventually or just pull ideas from a bunch of other cadenzas.

[ohsteacher]

@frenchhornheroe I put this cadenza together a long time ago when I first performed this piece in college. I think it is a combination of ideas from Tuckwell and Dennis Brain or maybe Hermann Baumann. I really don't remember. It was in my head and I wrote it out for this video.

Any tips on the semiquaver runs? I can't do them. even on my tenor horn. is it double tongued or something?

[ohsteacher]

@braddoran0123 I just have a fast single tongue, but it can be double tongued if you need to. I know some very good players with a slower single tongue who learn to double tongue passages like these and do a great job.

@ohsteacher Actually it's the very same cadenza Gerd Seifert played in a recording of the 4th horn concerto with Herbert von Karajan the Berlin Philharmonic. I think it was composed by Manfred Klier.

Nice Cadenza, is it original from you?

[sdd2r]

@ohsteacher this might be a stretch but I think that the cadenza is the one written out by Manfred Klier for Gerd Seifert's with Berlin/Karajan

Any tips for lip trills?

Great as always :D i love it

Great to see you back. Your new Ricco Kuhn matches you well with your playing characteristics (such has your closed and ample right hand muting). The horn is brilliant and efficient sounding. Everyone loves your cadenza.
