Verne Reynolds is famous for his technical proficiency, his many publications (including technically difficult etudes), and his inspiring teaching that has promoted technical development. His students play in orchestras around the world and teach in major universities, and his teaching has influenced professional horn playing as few others have.
Reynolds was born in 1926 in Lyons KS and moved when young to Lindsborg, where Bethany College made its faculty available to the townspeople. He began the study of piano at age eight with Arvid Wallin, who Reynolds considers to be his most influential teacher, and also sang in a church choir, directed by Wallin, through college. He started the horn at age 13 when the high school band director handed him an instrument and gave him private lessons.

Reynolds performed as a member of the Cincinnati Symphony (1947-50), in the American Woodwind Quintet, and as principal horn of the Rochester Philharmonic (1959-68). Reynolds was horn professor at the Eastman School of Music for 36 years (until 1995).

These Etudes follow the same plan as the 48 Eutdes for French Horn from wich they were transcribed.
. #1 to #24: Interval Studies
. #25 to #48: Deal with high and low register, wide leaps, meter changing, tonguing and trills.

Soloist: Philippe Litzler (2020)
