Louis François Dauprat (1781-1868) worked as an orchestral horn player and horn teacher in Paris and was one of the most important natural horn players of his time. He also composed numerous works, mostly for study purposes for his pupils, including six horn concertos and chamber music for horn and horn ensemble. His Sextet op. 10, in which each of the six horn players plays in different tunings, i.e. each with a different tuning bow, is probably of interest to music history. The rich collection of music for horn and wind chamber music in Edition Kunzelmann has received a welcome addition with the edition of the Sonata for Horn and Harp op. 3, lovingly supervised by Simon Scheiwiller.
