"French Horn Trio" by John S. Lloyd

[Rutabaga]

Charming story that sounds a gratifyingly positive note (pun intended, I suppose) throughout.  

French horn is one of those instruments (oboe is another, I would think) that is sufficiently difficult to play well that people may tend to look at you funny when you can . . . especially during school years.  Many film scores would sound empty without them, especially in dramatic moments.  "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker Ballet would lose something essential.  

My only regret is that we did not hear anything further about Adrian as the story ended.
