Overview

Horn Duos (Kürtduók) is a definitive collection curated to guide horn players through the rich history of their instrument's repertoire. Compiled in 1973 by the esteemed Hungarian hornist András Medveczky, this 40-page volume is an essential pedagogical tool for developing ensemble precision, lip endurance, and stylistic versatility. The anthology takes a chronological approach, beginning with early polyphonic vocal transcriptions from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, moving through the classical elegance of W.A. Mozart, and concluding with the technical brilliance of French horn virtuosos like Duvernoy and Gallay. Printed in the large "Bach" format for maximum legibility, these duos are perfect for teacher-student lessons or student chamber music practice.

Áttekintés (Hungarian)

A Kürtduók egy hiánypótló gyűjtemény, amely a kürtszínművészet történetének legfontosabb korszakaiba kalauzolja el a növendékeket. A kötetet 1973-ban állította össze a neves kürtművész, Medveczky András. A 40 oldalas kiadvány kiváló pedagógiai eszköz a társasjáték, az ajakállóképesség és a stílusismeret fejlesztésére. A válogatás időrendben halad: a középkori és reneszánsz vokális polifónia átirataitól indul, érinti W.A. Mozart klasszikus eleganciáját, majd a francia kürtiskola olyan mestereinek virtuóz darabjaival zárul, mint Duvernoy és Gallay. A nagyméretű „Bach” formátum könnyű olvashatóságot biztosít, ideálissá téve a kötetet tanár-diák órákhoz vagy kamarazenei gyakorláshoz.

Interesting Facts

• The Compiler: András Medveczky was a principal horn player of the Hungarian State Opera and a legendary teacher at the Liszt Academy. His selections reflect a deep understanding of the "Hungarian Horn School" pedagogy.
• The Mozart Connection: The volume includes 8 of the 12 famous duos (K. 487) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These were originally written for "corni di bassetto," but they have become a standard part of the horn player's training for mastering the high register.
• French Horn Virtuosity: Frédéric Duvernoy and Jacques-François Gallay were key figures at the Paris Conservatoire in the early 19th century. Their duos helped transition the horn from a valveless "natural horn" hunting tool to a refined orchestral solo instrument.
• Vocal Origins: The first pieces in the book, from the Rex Virginium mass, teach hornists the art of "cantabile" (singing) playing, emphasizing the linear phrasing that is crucial for brass instruments.
