Does horn in F transpose up or down?
Modern notation
The horn is a transposing instrument and unlike the trumpet sounds deeper than written in all tunings. The modern horn is notated in F; in bass clef and treble clef it is written a fifth higher than it sounds.
How do you transpose cor anglais to concert pitch?
The cor Anglais always transposes down a perfect 5th into concert pitch. Oboes and cors Anglais use the treble clef. The contrabassoon (also known as the double bassoon) is the lowest sounding woodwind instrument. Its music is written in the bass clef and sounds an octave lower than written.
