Harry Bell said Five Stars. An important addition to the literature on how to play the French horn.. Invaluable This book is an invaluable supplement to the Farkas book, which should also be in the home of every horn player. It is much larger, with extensive discussion of the basic etudes and much, much more.. "Excellent resource" according to Corniste. Excellent resource. ALL hornists should have this along with both Farkas, the Morley-Pegge, the Gregory, the Tuckwell and the Gunther Schuler resources. Doug Hill's work is also a must for your library. Unfortunately, they kept sending paperback copies of the Reynolds book, and this was a gift; so, I chose instead the Terry Johns book " Letters from Lines and Spaces." That one is also worth your consideration.
