Jun 29, 2014 · Paul Horn (March 17, 1930 – June 29, 2014) was an American flautist, saxophonist, composer and producer. He became a pioneer of world and new age music with his 1969 album Inside. He received five Grammy nominations between 1965 and 1999, including three nominations in 1965.
The horn is a transposing instrument, usually in F (a written C sounds like the F below). At the end of the 19th century the so-called “double horn” was invented, which was like a combination of a horn in F and a horn in B flat. In the 18th century there were generally two horns in an orchestra.
Discography. Given its duration (no more than 10 minutes), the Concerto is typically grouped with Mozart's other 3 for the instrument. One famous recording is Dennis Brain's November 1953 recording of the four horn concertos on EMI with The Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Herbert von Karajan. References
