The French horn is a direct descendant of the hunting horn.
It has been a member of the symphony orchestra since the beginning of the 17th century.
A variety of emotions, from heroic to sad, can be evoked through the playing of a horn.
Among brass instruments, the horn has the smoothest, softest sound.
A warm, melodious sound emanates from the horn’s middle register, while its high register produces a sound of great beauty.
