What is the French horn?
"French horn" is the name of the brass tool and the name of the organs stop. This article focuses on a brass tool. Only in English is this instrument called "French" - for example, in French, German, Spanish and Italian simply refers to the word language for the corner. Modern corners, which are usually considered one of the four main brass family divisions, are wind instruments of metal. The French horn that is used today is the corner of the valve.
The French horn has five parts: body, bell, valve system, mouth and mouthpiece. The right hand, placed in the bell, not only supports the instrument, but also has a role in the formation of sound. The hand can also seal the bell and create an effect known as "handstopping". The losses are also added to the French Upper to change Timbre.
The current French horn generally has four valves, although tools with up to six can be found and the so -called "individual" corners have usedE three valves and are located in F or BB. On four-valve instruments, called "double" corners, the fourth tuning valve switches the tool from BB to F or vice versa. The double corner is a typical orchestral corner, but there are also double corners in Alto and Soprano voting and triple corners are also available.
The French corner parts are generally written with a height key and without a key signature. Standard parts for double corner in F and BB are transposed to sound fifth lower than written. Remarkable concerts for the French horn were composed by Georg Telemann, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Paul Hindemith, Antonio Vivaldi, Richard Straus and Johann Sebastian Bach. Sonata for Horn was written by Ludwig von Beethoven, Hindemith, Sir Michael Tippett and Francis Pounc.
