22 Melodic Etudes

By

Josef Schantl

These PDF, public domain etudes are extracted from Volume III the Große theortisch- praktische Horn-Schule of Josef Schantl (1842-1902). Originally published in four vol-

umes in 1903-04, the best known portion today is Volume III, which was reprinted in

1941 in abridged form as Preparatory Melodies to Solo Work , edited by Max P. Pottag.

Pottag selected just 98 melodies from the original Schantl collection of 120 melodies.

Which brings us to the following PDF, which contains the remaining 22 etudes not

included in the Pottag version. Some of these I selected and included in my earlier

publication Ultimate Horn Technique (Horn Notes Edition), but all of them are found

here in their original edition.

Josef Schantl is not that well known today, but was a major teacher and player of the

late nineteenth century. He was a Principal Horn of the Imperial and Royal Court Op-

era and the Vienna Philharmonic, and has been credited with founding the Vienna

Waldhornverein. Among many significant performances he performed on the pre-

mieres of Brahms second and third Symphonies and also the third and eighth Sym-

phonies of Anton Bruckner.

These etudes it is worth noting were published posthumously. I like to think these

were favorites of his students, and these wonderful etudes clearly reflect his expertiseand experience as a teacher.
