The hand horn in performance The hand horn in performance

Abstract Abstract Using a natural horn similar to those used in the late eighteenth through the late nineteenth centuries, I performed music written for instruments of this type in a Department of Music and Dance Student Recital. The hand stopping method was used and this helped me to gain insights into performance practices of the natural horn in the Classical and Romantic Periods.
