Somehow I've made it through all these Art Thursdays without ever posting French horns. Me, who writes poems about Mozart horn concertos and sings along with them too! But I am rectifying that omission today.

Original taken as war loot to Russia at the end of War World II. Visitors can hear, in the museum, the immense sound volume of this instrument. Neues Museum, Berlin.

ReplyDeleteYes, it is about time you featured French horns...and you did so admirably!
I love all the depictions. No real favorites here; I just couldn't choose.
However, I would love to know about the incident with Cousin Araminta and the poodle. ;-)
