Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The first edition of this book was published in 1962 and quickly established itself as the classic guide to all aspects of horn-playing, with chapters on tone-production, exercises, legato and staccato playing, and the art of practising. For this new edition the author has greatly enlarged the Repertoire List, which gives details of over 1,000 pieces from the solo, chamber, and orchestral repertoires which include one or more horns. The author draws attention to key works in each genre. There are also a number of corrections and up-datings throughout the text and a new preface outlining recent developments in the horn world.

Repertoire list: pages 89-137.

The instrument and the mouthpiece -- Tone production -- Warm-up and other basic exercises -- Legato -- Legato tonguing -- Straccato -- Miscellaneous aspects of horn playing -- The art of practising -- Some notes for composers and conductors -- Repertoire list.
