PREFACE

Following up on the original volume is volume II of The Horn Matters PDFExcerpt E-Book. The content of volume I was driven primarily by surveys Idid of audition lists for high level undergrad and grad programs for horn, thelength overall being intentionally limited to a good one for reading as a PDFon a iPad.

For volume II our focus is the 13 remaining public domain works that areasked very frequently on professional auditions, the additional works chosenbased on a survey of ICSOM orchestra audition lists that I did a few years ago(for the complete results see John Ericson, “A New ICSOM Audition ListSurvey,” The Horn Call 33, no. 1 [October, 2002], 53-55).

The combination of the excerpts in volume I and II would be what I wouldhope an undergrad horn performance major knows well by the time theygraduate, and certainly any grad student should know cold. You don’t want tobe scratching around learning major excerpts for the first time right before anaudition!

Volulme III will follow soon, aimed at those additional excerpts that come upless commonly on auditions but often enough to be highly worthy of study byadvanced horn students.
