Perhaps one of the most popular and loved Horn method books used by Horn players and teachers alike is the 60 Selected Studies by C. Kopprasch. Sold in either two separate books or one whole one, these studies are a challenge to the player from early advanced level on. It covers scale studies, articulations, dynamics, range, interval studies and even transposition (using common orchestral transpositions such as Horn in E, Eb, D, C, A, and less common ones such as Ab and Bb). Several of the studies have repeats in the passage for added endurance work while the book progresses in difficulty. Truly a pleasure to play, these etudes not only have the player work on the technical aspects of playing, it also helps with the musical aspects. The etudes themselves are relatively easy to phrase and some of them play like "mini solos" that can be possibly be used in a college Horn jury.
