About the piece
Hunting Song, seventh in the Album for the Young. Open intervals imitate hunting horns over a bounding rhythm, one of the most immediately vivid pieces in the early part of the collection.
It teaches crisp articulation and confident leaps, and its clear pictorial subject makes those demands feel like storytelling rather than exercise.
