Pierre François Clodomir (1815–1884) was one of the most influential French composers and teachers of brass instruments in the 19th century. As a tuba player, horn player, and sought-after teacher, he created numerous study pieces that are still considered a valuable basis for teaching today.
His Méthode élémentaire pour la Trompe ou Cor de chasse is primarily aimed at beginners. The work teaches the basics of playing the hunting horn family in a systematic and easy-to-understand way. With clearly structured exercises, short études, and progressive learning steps, Clodomir guides players from their first notes to simple musical pieces.
In doing so, he combines musical pedagogical precision with a sense of the musical requirements of his time. Even today, this method can provide valuable inspiration for learning the natural horn and historical hunting horns and offers insights into the playing practice of the 19th century.
This edition aims to encourage readers to explore the hunting horn with curiosity and enthusiasm—in keeping with Clodomir's spirit, who always saw his music as an invitation to try, learn, and make music together.
