Performance Notes
This is a collection of easy quartets for beginners, with a variety of composers present, though mostly in classical style. The range of the individual parts is limited to more or less and octave in each piece, and while on paper it looks like the 4th horn needs the widest range, this is misleading as the f2 (and about the whole octave before that) only appears in the final canon. An excellent collection for beginners and teaching purposes.
