Opus 74
Concerto No. 2 for horn and orchestra
Written 1992
This was described by the composer as:
"sort of Latin; with a salsa influence"
The solo horn part contains no multi-phonics and has a range from pedal G to high C# (in F), and it seems very difficult, but the revision of 2014 is somewhat easier than the original version.
Theoretically, the composer uses bi-modality, that is, he develops two different modes in the individual movement. This can be seen easily in the contrast between the opening part of the thrid movement in the Marimba and Xylophone, who each are playing in different modes cadencing on E or F the first movement is bases around B & C modes and the second is based around E & F again and can be seen clearly with the opening statement of E - F# & F - G, which is 1st & 2nd tones of the different modes.
The third movement is highlighted by the "off" rhythm which Brahms uses in his third symphony, and it seems is always difficult.
THE SOLO HORN PART CAN BE FOUND on IMSLP
