“Horn Call” is a Pretime Classics piano arrangement based on music from Mozart’s Concerto No. 2 for Horn. It is written in 3/4 time with no key signature, using a simple single-note melody, repeated rhythmic shapes, Middle C position, and a few low bass notes. The score says that the thumbs share Middle C, making this a very early-level arrangement with a clear horn-like melody.

Measures 1–4 introduce the first horn-call phrase. The melody moves mostly by steps and small skips, with one note at a time and a steady 3/4 pulse.

Measures 5–8 answer the opening phrase. The melody begins higher, then moves downward before ending with a longer bass note in the left hand.

Measures 9–12 bring back the opening idea. This section repeats the same basic horn-call shape from the beginning, giving the piece a simple return form.

Measures 13–16 close the student part. The melody moves downward again and ends with a long held note, creating a clear final cadence.

The optional teacher duet adds harmony underneath the student part. It uses blocked chords, longer held tones, and small melodic answers to make the simple horn melody sound fuller.

Interesting fact: This beginner arrangement comes from Mozart’s Concerto No. 2 for Horn. The original music was written for horn and orchestra, but this version reduces the idea to a short Middle C position piano piece.
