호른은 둥글게 말린 모양의 금관악기예요. 옛날에는 우편배달부가 마을에 도착했을 때 이 나팔을 불어서 알렸어요.
지금은 오케스트라나 군악대에서 주로 연주하는 악기가 되었어요. 특히 클래식 음악에서 아름다운 소리를 내는 중요한 악기로 사용돼요.
Originally used as a signaling tool in hunting or the military, the horn began to develop as a musical instrument in the 18th century. Modern horns have added a valve system, allowing them to play a wider range of notes.
Composers like Mozart and Beethoven wrote many beautiful pieces for the horn. It's also frequently used in film scores, especially in grand and romantic scenes. You can hear the horn's captivating sound in the theme songs of movies like Harry Potter and Star Wars.
