Misc. Notes This transposition of the horn part use more sharps than the Ellice Partitions version. The only reason for this is my feeling that it improves readability to have, for example, intervals that sound like thirds look like thirds on the page. Not all horn players will prefer this, of course, but I did if for my own use and some other players might like it..
