As if
looking back on his youth
toward the end of his
life, Richard Strauss
wrote a second concerto
for horn and orchestra,
again in Eb major, around
sixty years after his
first concerto for horn.
This sublimely beautiful
late work, which gives no
indication of the
oppressive circumstances
of Strauss� poor
health and the Second
World War, was premiered
in 1943 by Gottfried von
Freiberg under the
direction of Karl
Böhm. It was not until
after Strauss� death
that the concerto
appeared in print in
London, making a critical
new edition on the basis
of the autograph sources
and performance material
more than overdue. The
editor, Hans Pizka,
former principal horn of
the Bavarian State Opera
in Munich, learned
first-hand about the
performance tradition and
genesis of the concerto
as a pupil of Gottfried
von Freiberg. For use in
lessons and for
performances, the
especially playable piano
reduction by Johannes
Umbreit is a great
help.
