"Study of the horn will take the student through periods of exasperation, elation, challenge, downright enslavement, and finally, fascination and deep love for a noble, thrilling instrument." -Phillip Farkas (The Art of French Horn Playing)

History of the Horn
This fantastic documentary by Barry Tuckwell gives a great lesson about the horn and its history. From what we do to play it, to some amusing stories about when Mozart wrote for it. It's a 4-part series on YouTube, the video I posted is the first in the series. An added bonus of this documentary is the opportunity to hear Tuckwell play many of the Mozart concertos. I found this very interesting when I stumbled across it and I hope you find it enlightening as well.
