Concert Report Jocelyn Sanders, Horn and Natural Horn Sin-Hsing Tasi, Piano The first selection was Nocturno for Horn in F, Op.7 written by Franz Strauss (1822-1905). Franz Strauss was the father of Richard Strauss who wrote two famous works for the horn. Franz represents the Early Romantic period. This piece had a very good use of the range that the horn has available. It was very consonant in the way it sounded. It had a very soft texture to it and was very flowing rhythm. I enjoyed this piece it had a great blend between polyphony and homophony. The second selection was by Franz Danzi (1763-1826). It was called Sonata in E-flat for Horn and Piano, Op. 28. Franz Danzi is part of the Romantic period where he became a great cellist. This selection started out slow and progressively became faster. The piano played a lot faster in this piece than the horn. I liked this selection also it was enjoyable to listen to and made me feel kind of sleepy. The third selection was Romance, Op.36 by Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921). This composer wrote three works for the horn between 1874 and 1887 she was in the Romantic period.
