  "Schilflieder" [horn part only (replacing viola)]

  USD13.62

  Composer: August Klughardt
  Arranger: Y. Kasahara

  Klughardt's "Schilflierder" is a romantic masterpiece for unconventional combination of oboe, viola and piano. Here I offer a transcription of original viola part into horn, based on Amadeus edition [ATTENTION : Score and oboe part NOT included. Replacing horn part only]. The range is suitable for horn, and wild hunting fanfare in no. 4 sounds as if it is the original instrumentation.
