$15.00French Horn Player’s Guide to the Blues (and Beyond) is a new look at how horn players can get in on the joys and benefits of creating their own music and at last take part in the most influential musical genre of the 20th century, the blues. The blues is an aural art, but this method uses notation as a springboard to (paradoxically) getting free of dependence on notation. Players will learn about the structure of the blues and will learn to solo and create bass lines and accompaniments. Players may learn on their own, with a teacher, or with friends. Learn More -

The contributions of Philip Farkas in the fields of symphonic horn playing, pedagogy, and instrument design are of such importance that he will certainly be considered a major figure of the twentieth century. As a horn player, he was the only person ever to be offered the solo horn position in each of the "big five" American orchestras (Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra). His first book, The Art of French Horn Playing (Summy-Birchard Music, 1956) is considered the "bible" of horn players and is still a best seller in its field. The Art of Brass Playing (Wind Music, 1962, written in collaboration with the present author) and The Art of Musicianship (Wind Music, 1976) widened his exposure to encompass the entire music profession. The horn he designed with the Frank Holton Company in 1957 immediately established itself as the top-selling American-made horn, a position it continues to hold forty years later. This biography contains a wealth of previously unavailable correspondence, technical material, and photographs. It is a "must" for all horn players and music lovers. - Publisher. Learn More -

Solo work that explores the technique of stopping the horn. Composed for Marvin Howe.
In 1972 THE HORN CALL published part of a short treatise by Marvin Howe on Stopped Horn (1968). In this short treatise, Marvin Howe discussed an effective method for improving stopped horn technique. The essential statement was that closing the hand in the bell of the horn, lowers the pitch to a half-step above the next lowest partial in the harmonic series.” The subsequent letters to the editor of THE HORN CALL became what was known as “The Great Stopped Horn Debate.” Rather than write a letter to the editor, I chose to compose this Prelude—to illustrate the techniques discussed by Marvin Howe. (REF)
Interestingly enough, the review of this composition also became an ongoing discussion between the reviewer-Dr. Gayle Chesebro, the Editor of the Horn Call-Paul Mansur, and Dr. Howe. So, this composition, itself, also became part of “The Great Stopped Horn Debate”!
In many ways the composition is a dialog between the outdoor horn-with little fanfares on open notes of the harmonic series-and the indoor horn-with open-stopped glissandi-created by closing the right hand inside the horn. In the end, regardless of whether one is projecting open notes or stopped notes, the harmonic series always wins the debate!
