Well, I think all notes below C second space are playable on the natural horn. What I meant to say in my earlier statement is the composer needed to understand the harmonic series to know which horn notes were open, which were partially closed and which were completely stopped. So he knew what colors he woudl be getting.
The open notes on a natural horn in todays key of F would give you these concert pitch notes for the horn in descending order from C second space treble clef.
C, Bb, G, E, C, G, C, C.
So this is why you see horn 1&2 in Bb playing with Horn 3&4 in Eb. So you can have C,B,Bb,A,G,F,E,D,C,B,G,D,C,G,C all sounding open using both sets of horn. And of course you can have the horns switch to another key. They can pick up their horn in G, then put that down and pick up Horn in D,put that down pick up Horn in Bb-alto, etc.
In Donizetti's Comic Opera DON PASQUALE. He has the horns go through every key there is. A fun fun opera to practice your transposition on.
