Oscar Franz (1843-1886) was one of the most prominent teachers and
performers of the horn in the late nineteenth century. Franz spent most
of his career in Dresden, where he taught at the Dresden Conservatory
and performed Principal Horn in the court orchestra. Franz was well re-
spected in his time, and it is to him that Richard Strauss (1864-1949)
dedicated the orchestral score of his Horn Concerto No. 1, Op. 11 (1883).

Oscar Franz wrote a number of teaching materials for the horn. His
Grosse theoretisch-practische Waldhorn-Schule [Complete Theoretical
and Practical Horn Method] was first published around 1880. In this
method Franz put forth many of his ideas for performing on the horn.

In terms of useful materials today, the most useful are the etudes from
the method. They fall in two sections in the “Newly Revised and Enlarged
Edition” that I referenced, which is copyrighted 1906. Pages 60-82 con-
tain 29 etudes that I would rate as easy to difficult enough to be of use
with an advanced student, and pages 86-102 contain the “10 Grand
Concert Studies,” difficult etudes which have also been published sepa-
rately from the method.

I have created PDF editions of both of these sections to make them


more of use to the horn community today. They are all pretty usable in
lesson situations and for personal practice, and I believe teachers will
find them especially handy “filler teaching materials” to have around in
situations where students are new or between books.
