Schnock, Gunter - Aphorisms for 3 Horns and 2 Wagner Tuba

Aphorisms op. 4
for 3 horns and 2 Wagner tubas


Year of composition 1965

The idea of ​​these pieces is the use of the fine tonal differences that exist between today's numerous French horn types. Since there are no suitable mutes for the high F horn, it will not be difficult for a good horn player to play the few muted tones on a small mute
find out any appropriate auxiliary handles cleanly. At the same time, I enjoyed giving the tube-loving horn players (probably for the first time) a chamber music version
task to offer.
