I originally composed this piece as a low horn work for valve horn (in F). It was Mark who initially arranged the piece for natural horn (in E-Flat), taking many passages up an octave into the normal register of both valve and natural horn. I think the result sounds great!
This sonatina stands out from the mainstream horn repertoire because it is in a minor key (every movement is in a minor key) and in the “sturm and drang” style. I drew on the symphonies of CPE Bach and Joseph Haydn as inspiration for this horn sonatina.
