Performance Notes
One of the best known collection for horn quartet, Max Pottag’s arrangements are easy to play, have limited range, and are also musically interesting. Most of the works have been adjusted in key and dynamics to make sure the level of difficulty stays within limits. Recommended for beginner’s ensembles, a collection that certainly is worth the money.
