Horn Concerto (Glière)
Reinhold Glière's Concerto for Horn and Orchestra in B-flat major, Op. 91, was completed in 1951. It was premiered on May 10, 1951 by Russian hornist Valery Polekh in Leningrad (later renamed St. Petersburg) with the Leningrad Radio Symphony Orchestra.
==Background==
Polekh met Glière at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1950, during a break in a rehearsal of Glière's ballet ''The Bronze Horseman''. During this brief encounter, Polekh suggested that Gliere write a concerto for the horn. Gliere promised he would work on a concerto in his free time. Polekh later met with Glière and demonstrated the capabilities of the horn to him; a year later, Glière finished writing the concerto.
The Horn Concerto is perhaps the best known of Glière's acclaimed works. Concertos for horn are rare; well-written concerti rarer still. The addition of valves in the early 19th century allowed composers a greater flexibility in their compositions, and the horn became a full range solo instrument. Many composers, valuing its large range and unique tone, incorporated it more prominently in their compositions. Glière went one step further; he captured its full power by composing a concerto for horn and orchestra, the longest commonly played.
