Considering the slim repertoire offered horn players from this period, it is more than surprising that these two masterpieces could have slumbered for so long. Both sonatas are similar in structure, with op. 118 being one Schumanns few three-movement sonatas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first movements of the pieces sparkle with melancholically lyrical melodies, whereas passages strongly marked rhythmically, variously shape the two outer movements. Virtuoso moments can be found, respectively, in the final movements, bringing the works to a brilliant close. The horn parts predominantly range within the full, sonorous middle register, where occasional outbursts up to the notated \u003cem\u003ea flat''\u003c\/em\u003e are also not lacking. The clever handling of the balance of sounds, the possibilities on the early valve horn as well as the inner interweaving of themes differentiating horn and piano make the sonatas an exceedingly vivid testimony to Schumanns mature compositional art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchumanns horn sonatas are a crucial enhancement to each horn players repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Härtel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51923915866397,"sku":"EB32113","price":90.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/EB32113.jpg?v=1782293896","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/camillo-schumann-sonata-no-1-in-f-major-op-118-horn-piano-breitkopf-hartel","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
