Horn Lip Trills

This recording demonstrates a horn solo with lip trills. Rare was it for the horn to be featured so prominently in an 18th- century composition and rarer still were soloists of the horn required to perform extended technical demands such as the lip trills in Michael Haydn's "Serenade in D Major". 18th-Century Vienna saw composers experimenting with the incorporation of various wind instruments into their compositions which contributed to the development of greater instrumental technique and a new range and variance of instrumental color.
