Cor solo

Jean Louis Antoine French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 684

Stölzel valves. This horn is a late version of the first French valve horn, which Antoine developed in 1829. Cors solo are horns with G as the highest key; as they were usually used by soloists, and most solo pieces called for F or E-flat and D horns, they were thus called cors solo. By exchanging the internal crooks, the horn can be played in the keys of G, F, E, E-flat, D, and C.
