BOOKS
- I Found My Horn: One Man’s Struggle with the Orchestra’s Most Difficult Instrument by Jasper Rees. Also titled, A Devil to Play. This is a hilarious self-narrative about a middle-aged British man deciding to conquer the horn again by challenging himself to perform a solo at the British Horn Society. Well-researched and terribly funny.
