Andrew Lewinter — Writing for Horn

April 12th, 2021: Andrew Lewinter — Writing for Horn

“I will provide information to help composers write well for the horn. I will provide:

1. a little bit of background history on the development of the instrument to the extent that that information informs composing well for it
2. a description of the modern instrument
3. “dos” and “don’ts”
4. characteristics of each range
5. extended techniques and other special effects

I will provide some examples from the standard orchestral and solo literature.”
