The definitive historical method for the natural horn is now available with an English translation of the text alongside the original French. It demonstrates the techniques in use in the golden age of hand horn playing and concludes with an extensive collection of duos and trios. A requisite for all natural horn players.

Most hornists are well acquainted with Kopprasch's op. 6 low horn etudes, as they have been an indispensable staple of the pedagogical repertoire for decades. Now we are proud to make available, for the first time in more than a century, his companion set of etudes for high horn, which make the familiar low horn studies seem awfully tame. This urtext edition respects the composer's indications of dynamics, etc., as reflected in the original 1832 Breitkopf publication, and includes a foreword by Kopprasch authority Dr. John Q. Ericson. The etudes are newly, painstakingly, engraved and are presented in two volumes. Text in German and English. For the traditional low horn etudes, op. 6, we recommend the Hofmeister edition, available here
