Unsung Romantic Horn Music

[Mark Thomas]

There are Raff's lovely Two Romances for Horn & Piano op.182, which can be downloaded from IMSLP.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Unfortunately, only No. 1 is available on IMSLP. It is indeed very lovely. I'd like to see No. 2.

One of my first treasures (bought some ten years ago - it came with me to college, actually) was this disc: http://www.answers.com/topic/flemish-romantic-horn-concertos
Every work a gem of some sort - my personal favorite is the Robert Herberigs which opens the disc, and the first movement of the Meulemans.  Though the Van Eechaute is nice, too.

[Mark Thomas]

Both the Raff pieces used to be at IMSLP, I'm sure. I wonder what happened to the second one?

Hrm. Were you able to download both from the page? The page description has changed to reflect that only one is there whereas earlier it claimed (by omission) that both were, but I don't know that both actually were there earlier...

[Mark Thomas]

I guess that IMSLP has only ever had No.1, Eric, as that's all I have too, I now find. Sorry to mislead everyone. I'm getting older...

[Lionel Harrsion]

I'm getting older...

As George Burns said, "That's better than the alternative!"

[eschiss1]

Agreed.
And if one of us finds a public-domain copy of no.2- well, as the expression goes, "looking out for no.2", or something... I mean, will happily upload it.
