This is a horn "call." It is this rustic and authentic sound which first brought the horn from the forests to the concert hall. This excerpt ("clip") is from an opera by Richard Wagner. In the opera, a singer puts a horn to his face and pretends to play this, while the real sound is being produced from a horn player watching the singer from backstage via TV. It takes a tremendous amount of practice to play this by yourself, but even more so when you have to take all your cues from a TV picture of the actual person. This horn player does a tremendous job of playing it. Her accuracy and efficiency is impeccable! Enjoy!
