The History of Brass Technology

In a recent Early Music program , January 7 2007, was devoted to horn technology. Here is a screen scrape from the page for this program. This lecture/concert answered a lot of my questions as a long time brass player.

Here is a link to the program.

The History of the Horn

Saturday 7 January 2006 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)

Roger Montgomery describes and demonstrates the progression of the Horn from Cave to Concert Hall, taking in a Tibetan Monastery and a Swiss Alp on the way.

Music to include Va taciti from Handel's Julius Caesar, Mozart Duet for two natural horns, Dauprat Duo and a Divertimento by Gallay for the Clagget patent horn - every home should have one.
