Reviews

'The book is very well researched, very well written and will be a substantial contribution to the history of the horn. In structure and scope, this book goes deeper into the history of the horn in France in the nineteenth century than anything written previously. Highly recommended.' Professor Richard Seraphinoff, IU Jacobs School of Music, USA
