The author discusses the use of horn instruments in Johann Sebastian Bach's works. Topics include the disagreement between Bach's designations and notation, the horn doubling as voices based on Bach's autographs, the use of the Baroque techniques and the 6 out of 56 individual non-transposing movements which cannot be played using Baroque, namely the three movements for corno da tirarsi, the two in CAntatas BWV 95 and 105, and the movement in the first chorale in Cantata BWV 68.
The author reflects on the horn instruments made available to Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach, citing two basic types of horns that he seemed to have had access to, the Jadghorn, or hunting instrument, and the terminally-crooked Waldhorn, developed by the Viennese horn maker Michael Leichnamschneider around 1705. Topics discussed include the advantages and disadvantages of the horns, Bach's earliest works to use the horn, and the three categories Bach's horn writing may be classified.
