Possibilities for the development of improvisation identity in the French
horn
French horn. Identity. Improvisation. Jazz. Musical Discourse.
This research is aimed at technical-interpretive possibilities for the development of an improvisatory
identity on the horn. When one thinks of popular music, jazz, bossa nova among other musical genres
and instruments linked to these genres, horn, certainly not part of such imagery. This research
objective and not only address the theme with relation to identity but trace the subject of french horn
and improvisation that I see is present in various academic researches of national and international
scope. Through analyzes of improvised solos by well-established horn players, we will analyze and
discuss the questions of improvisatory identity from a general perspective, not that I respect the
musical discourse and overstuff, about the french horn, no sense of in playing the horn as a free
instrument. Of whichever moor and holder of an identity of its own that is for the traditional.
Furthermore, we emphasize that this research serves as an object of study and inspiration for all horn
players who wish to enter different musical spaces and experience new artistic paths.
