In their book, Ralph T. Dudgeon and Franz X. Streitwieser present a detailed analysis of the members of the fluegelhorn family represented in the Streitwieser Collection in Instrumentenmuseum Schloss Kremsegg. They explain the evolution of this family of instruments, from early forms of halfmoon signal horns, keyed bugles, Italian flicorni, and Clarinhorns to modern fluegelhorns. The technical evolution of the instruments was closely connected to musical performance practices of the times.
