About the book
Camille Saint-Saëns wrote his Morceau de concert for horn and orchestra in 1887 for the Parisian horn player Henri Chaussier. Its three parts run without a break: a theme in F minor with two variations, a broad Adagio, and an Allegro non troppo that turns to F major and ends in a blaze of high calls. It is one of the great showpieces of the horn repertoire.
The horn part is printed for the horn in F; the accompaniment is the composer's own reduction for piano (Durand).
