The French horn is an instrument with curves! What rich sound can be teased from those long, winding tubes of brass — and oh, how the sound does carry above the rest of the symphony if a note is missed!
Acknowledgements: Appreciation and thanks go to my son’s French horn which was the patient subject for the impromptu lunch hour photo shoot, inspired by this week’s challenge theme.
Ciao! ~ Kat

Wow! These are stunning… and a very different way of looking at something ordinary, if you can say a French horn is ordinary!

I thought the same thing myself when I first pulled the horn out of the case — I see it all the time, so I was thinking, “well this isn’t very exciting”! But once I took a closer look, was reminded of its simple, yet complex, beauty.

French horns have such power and beauty able to soar over the orchestra. I love Tschaikovky’s usage of the french horn. Lovely

So true — when you think of how empty some pieces would be without the horn part, the horn’s power becomes clear.
