Range
Horn players normally read in the treble clef, but sometimes in lower horn parts the music goes into the bass clef. There is such a thing as ´old notation´ and ´new notation´ and I think ´old notation´ was still being used by people like Richard Strauss, who wrote for the horn in bass clef and wrote the notes an octave lower than they were actually to be played. I don´t understand where this tradition came from, but since then composers have moved over to ´new notation´ where they actually write in the octave that you are supposed to be playing in. Sometimes the horn players in the orchestra will have a discussion about what note we think something is, taking into account what else is written in the part that might show whether it is ´old´ or ´new´ notation.
