1st Duo concertant op.5 for Horn and Guitar

2nd Duo concertant op.7 for Horn and Guitar

Duos concertant  for 2 Horns op.3

There is not much known about the horn player A. Corret. On his first duo, he names himself A.Corret jeune in order not to be taken for the musician L. Corret, who lived in Paris and had published something about musicology. A. Corret played the first horn in Rouen at the Grand Theatre 1815 – 1862. Perhaps, he studied horn in Paris, because he was known to Louis-François Dauprat. The 5^th most virtuose horn concerto of Dauprat was dedicated to Corret (ROM 155).

We only know of chamber music by Corret. The first of these duos are dedicated to Mad. Adelle Lechevallier, the second to his friend Eustache Bérat (1792 – 1884, living in Rouen as painter, chansonniere and certainly also guitar player).

In 2004, the horn player Daniel Bourgue recorded these two duos on CD.

Correts duos for 2 horns have as a dedication "Dedie aux amateur". Corret happily composed very skilfully for the two horns which are not always restricted to upper and sub-voice by it but change also appropriately with each other. For its time, unfortunately, this was not usual for duo to horn quartet.
