John Zirbel. John Zirbel is an American-born French horn player and teacher. He was the principal horn of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (1978/1979–2019) and one of the principal horns at the Aspen Music Festival and School orchestra (from 2000), and also spent a season as principal horn at the San Francisco Symphony (in 2000) and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (in 2005).
In 1849, Robert Schumann explored the horn as a solo instrument, dedicating to it an "Adagio and Allegro," Op. 70, before embarking on the composition of an orchestral work featuring four solo horns (having also composed the "Five Songs based on Heinrich Laube's Hunting Compendium" for men's choir and four horns, Op. 137 that same year).

Jacques-François Gallay (8 December 1795 – 18 October 1864) [1] was a French horn player, academic and composer of music for the instrument. His Méthode for the natural horn was published in 1845.
Hans Abrahamsen's Concerto for Horn and Orchestra was composed between 2018 and 2019 on a commission from the Stiftung Berliner Philharmoniker and co-commissions from the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the NTR Zaterdag Matinee (Radio 4's concert series at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam), the Seattle Symphony, and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra.
The hand horn technique developed in the classical period, with music pieces requiring the use of covering the bell to various degrees to lower the pitch accordingly. Mozart's four Horn Concertos, Concert Rondo and Morceau de Concert were written with this technique in mind, as was the music both Beethoven and Brahms wrote for the horn.
The concerto is written in a conservative style that looks back to the musical world of his teenage years as represented by his first horn concerto, which was completed in 1883. Strauss follows the typical fast-slow-fast structure of classical concerti, with the three movements in E-flat major, A-flat major, and E-flat major.
