Harold Meek writes from a lifetime's experience playing the horn
(often first chair) in several of America's great orchestras,
notably the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He shares anecdotes and
insights about the joys and travails of playing under Fritz Reiner,
Otto Klemperer, Serge Koussevitzky, Charles Munch, and others. Meek
also brings together some important information about changes in
the instrument itself, including a little-known letter from the
great British horn virtuoso, Dennis Brain, about the virtues of
different makes of horn. A valuable section prints interpretively
challenging horn passages from over three dozen masterpieces,
ranging from Beethoven symphonies to Weber's Der Freischutz, and
evaluates the solutions offered in recordings by various prominent
conductors, from Leopold Stokowski, Sir Adrian Boult, George Szell,
and Herbert von Karajan to Carlo Maria Giulini, Neville Marriner,
Kurt Masur, and Christopher Hogwood.
