Abstract

In 1920, Pau Casals known internationally as Pablo Casals founded a new musical ensemble in Barcelona under his own name: the Pau Casals Orchestra. As well as having other personal and professional reasons, his objective was to establish a first-classorchestra like the many that he had known all over the world and especially in the USA during his career as a soloist. One of his main concerns during the creation of this musical institution was the configuration of the French horn quartet. This article looks at Casals' manifest concern for the horn players of his orchestra during one of the most outstanding moments in the history of music in Barcelona and in a time of transformation of the instrument, due to both the reception of a new orchestral repertoire mainly Richard Strauss' tone poems and the remarkable organological changes that had taken place in order to adapt the French horn to the needs and challenges of these new Works.
