English Horns were not common in orchestral works until the expanded symphonic [[orchestra]] of Richard Wagner. In modern times, the instrument's frequency of occurrence in works has remained stagnant, although several famous works feature it prominently, such as the second movement (the ''Largo'') from [[Antonin Dvorak]]'s symphony, ''From the New World.''
