Summary: “Mozart& his horny friends” Two Mozart works for horn and orchestra are featured here, including his posthorn serenade. The post horn (also posthorn, post-horn, or coach horn) is a valveless cylindrical brass or copper instrument with cupped mouthpiece, used to signal the arrival or departure of a post rider or mail coach. It was used especially by postilions (early mailmen) of the 18th and 19th centuries. Details at our archive page @ https://archive.org/details/MozartAndHisHornyFriends
