 French Horn Stopping -- Why the pitch shift?
However, horn parts are written for the old transposing horns, so modern players have to undo this transposition (by performing a reciprocal transposition) when they read music.
To compensate, the horn player transposes the music down a semitone (in addition to any other transposition they're doing).
The interval of the shift varies, depending on the starting pitch.
