Biography
Leloir (b. 1913) distinguished himself as
principal horn in the Suisse Romande Orchestra at
Geneva (1939-1977) and as a horn teacher at the
Bern, Friborg, Monte Carlo, and Geneve
conservatories.
After Leloir won the first International Horn
Competition at Geneve, conductor Ernest Ansermet
orchestrated Schumann's Adagio and Allegro for the
occasion. In 1952 his quartet, Quator de Cors
Leloir, premiered the Hindemith Sonata for Four
Horns.
Without his significant publications of lost or
out-of-print editions, we may have lost concertos
by L. Mozart, Rosetti, M. Haydn, Telemann, and
many others.
