Georg Kopprasch was a German
composer and horn player. Very
little is known about his
life, except that he was born
sometime before 1800 and
continued his career as a horn
player at least until 1832.
Kopprasch is mainly known for
his second set of Horn etudes,
op. 6. This set of 60 etudes
is often published as two
books, neither of which should
be confused with his first set
of etudes, op. 5.
Kopprasch's Sixty Selected
Studies for French Horn is
studied by the majority of
horn students studying at an
advanced level. Most of the
etudes focus on technical
problems relating to the high
range of the Horn. Due to a
misread by an early editor,
these studies are often
attributed to 'C. Kopprasch'.
These etudes have also been
transcribed for other brass
instruments, such as tuba and
trombone. (Hide extended text)...(Read all) Source : Wikipedia
