Přemysl Vojta doesn’t play “a” horn here, but rather several very different horns. He starts out with a natural horn from 1833 for Beethoven’s Sonata − for anyone familiar with this work being played on a modern chromatic instrument, the surprise will be massive! Much due to the fact that most of the notes, unavailable in the natural scale of the primitive instrument, are generated by changing the position of the right hand in the bell, creating a deaf, nasal sound in addition to the natural notes playing at full sonority. The result is quite unique, but foreseen by Beethoven when writing his Sonata; it’s as if two different instruments were playing, exchanging notes within a single phrase.

Horn Concertos by Michael & Joseph Haydn: It is difficult to ascertain how many horn concertos Joseph Haydn and his younger brother Michael actually wrote. Certain works are lost; others are erroneously ascribed, or their authenticity is at least doubtful. One of the concertos has even been ascribed by different musicologists to Joseph and to Michael Haydn, but it may have been written by another person entirely.

The two brothers wrote most of their concertos for the widest variety of solo instruments, but usually in the same type of situation: i.e. once they had assumed important posts at the head of renowned court orchestras. Joseph Haydn became Kapellmeister for the Ezterházy princes in 1761, and Michael became concertmaster of the Salzburg archdiocese court orchestra in 1763. The court musicians in both orchestras were virtuosos in their own right, and one of the tasks of a Kapellmeister consisted in composing new works that permitted them to display their outstanding abilities in the presence of their sovereigns.

John Cage (1912-1992) holds his own special place amidst this stylistic pluralism. Although Cage did not specifically write a trio for horn, violin, and piano, his work Music For (1984) can be easily fleshed out in this instrumental lineup. Music For is a bundle of 17 parts that can be randomly associated with one another. Each possible combination represents an entirely valid version of the piece – ranging from a solo performance to piano duet, string quartet, or ensemble with voice. The version for horn trio is called Music For Three, and this version also allows for several performance alternatives.
